Deakin University is taking innovative steps to tackle healthcare disparities in rural areas. By defining a "rural activity footprint," Deakin aims to recruit and retain more healthcare professionals in regions that need them most. This initiative focuses on training local students and providing extended rural placements, ensuring that our rural communities have better access to quality healthcare.
