Emeritus Professor Paul Worley

I am an academic rural doctor, former Dean of Medicine at Flinders University and former National Rural Health Commissioner for the Australian Government. My work in the science of rural community based medical education, and its impact on addressing the maldistribution of doctors for rural and underserved areas, has changed the face of medical education and rural medical workforce policy nationally and internationally. My leadership of junior doctor training in general practice has transformed the transition from medical school to post-graduate training for general practice. I am a past President of the Rural Doctors Association of SA, a previous national Vice President of ACRRM, and a Board Director for the RFDS SA/NT and MIGA.
