Rural Medical Families Support
The Rural Medical Family Network (RMFN) is funded by the NSW Rural Doctors Network (RDN). The RMFN aims to support medical families in rural and remote medical practice by;
- creating a 'friendship network' to lessen feelings of loneliness and isolation experienced by some rural families,
- providing comprehensive 'family programs' at Continuing Professional Development weekends and medical conferences,
- facilitating medical student holiday placements with rural GPs for students interested in experiencing rural practice and life, and
- providing crisis assistance for rural doctors and their families who are stressed or ill.
Whether you are a rural medical family of many years or just starting out in country life, please make contact with the Family Program Coordinator on (02) 6545 2461 or info@rmfn.org.au
