Pursue a career in medicine no matter who you are or where you come from

Free medicine entry coaching for under-represented rural students

Who we are

Rural Rounds is a not-for-profit organisation that provides informal coaching for students from rural and under-represented backgrounds to gain entry into Australian medical degrees.

Our mission

Australia has a rural doctor distribution problem, driven in part by how we currently select and support rural students. Students who grow up in rural areas are more likely to value their communities and return to work there, yet they face significant barriers when it comes to accessing and entering medical school.

At the same time, access to medical training remains inequitable. Selection processes do not consistently recognise structural disadvantages leaving many capable students under-represented in medical degrees.

We’re here to help address this—by supporting students who are both rural and under-represented to navigate the pathway into a career in rural medicine. See our eligibility criteria below.
