The M2M program provides the opportunity for career progression from undergraduate to GP or the M2M experience is readily translated to metropolitan specialist practice.
The Hume Rural Generalist Intern Training Program, Murray to the Mountains (M2M) is considered Rural Generalist Trainng Year 1 (RG1) of the Victorian Rural Generalist Program (VRGP) for the Hume Region.
The VRGP is a state-wide end-to-end Rural Generalist training program that allows the future Rural Generalist workforce to train, work and live in rural and regional Victoria. In addition to providing a diverse and rewarding training experience, the long-term objective of the VRGP is to increase the employment of Rural Generalists in rural health services and communities across Victoria.
The RG1 program provides a great introduction to a Rural Generalist career by providing training in both health service and community settings and working alongside Rural Generalists in small, rural and community health services.
There is no requirement to be in a GP training program to apply for RG1 positions, but you will need to be on a GP training program before taking up a Rural Generalist Advanced Training position. Application to an accredited GP training program can be done in Rural Generalist Year 1 or 2.
