Video Summary | The allied health rural generalist pathway

Rural and remote health services face challenges recruiting and retaining allied health (AH) professionals, despite increasing demand for AH services with the expansion of disability and aged care services, increasingly complex health needs and ageing populations. Postgraduate training is one strategy that can be used to develop skills relevant to rural AH roles. The Allied Health Rural Generalist Pathway (AHRGP) is a postgraduate program that includes coursework and work-based projects throughout a program of study with the aim of growing and sustaining the rural and remote AH workforce. Regional Local Health Networks in South Australia introduced the AHRGP in 2019 as a workforce strategy. This Original Research article presents the first evaluation of the resources and outcomes of the AHRGP using a cost consequence analysis approach.
