ABOUT OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
The CRRMH is involved in developing, implementing and evaluating education programs across the three broad dimensions of:
- Academic programs
- Professional development and continuing education
- Community education and mental health promotion programs
Overall, the CRRMH aims to develop education programs using emerging technologies and evidence-based practice and to provide new opportunities in continuing education for diverse groups of rural practitioners (doctors, nurses, allied health, consumers, carers and other community organisations). The development of all education programs at the CRRMH is informed by current research and service development activities at the Centre and by the partnerships established with a range of stakeholders in rural and remote mental health. This enhances the Centre's capacity to develop sustainable systems of education and training, and support rural and remote services in identifying educational priorities.
AIM
