"In these devastating times, training and retaining our health workforce has never been more critical so this is great news for our region," Mr Gee said.

Funded by the Australian Government Department of Health, the RVTS training model supports doctors, many of whom work as solo practitioners, to continue to serve their patients in their home towns, while upskilling.

"Congratulations to Dr Sreejith and and all those behind this fantastic program," concluded Mr Gee.
