World of Rural Health Student Funds

The World Organisation of Family Doctors (WONCA) and the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) in conjunction with Australian medical groups - the Australian Medical Students' Association (AMSA) and National Rural Health Students’ Network (NRHSN) are raising funds to bring international students to attend the 14th World Rural Health Conference in Cairns, Australia (29 April - 2 May 2017).

The money will be used to provide scholarships to international students and distributed on a case-by-case basis, giving them the opportunity to attend a conference which brings the world's leading experts in rural and remote medicine together to share the latest in global rural health. 

Students from all over the world will have the opportunity to network, broaden their skills and share ideas on an international platform. 

This collaboration is important to strengthen the future of rural and remote medicine on a global scale, with the aim to improve health in rural and remote communities.

Thank you for your support
