Among common practice issues for rural health care practitioners are local support, and access to continued professional development. Lack of perceived development opportunities has been cited as one of the reasons why retention of health care practitioners is difficult in rural and remote areas.
While there are a number of really good online programs and networks that rural practitioners can access, the Made It Clinic believes that the growing Fraser Coast is uniquely positioned to develop local social capital. Social capital refers to the network of relationships among people who live and work in a community that enable the functioning of that community.
The Made it Clinic aims to link in with local professional development activities and supplement services by providing regular training, peer consultation, skills practice, and case presentation. May is also an approved supervisor of provisional psychologists undergoing 4+2 and 5+1 pathways to psychologist registration.
