From the bush to the big smoke – development of a hybrid urban community based medical education program in the Northern Territory, Australia
Rural and Remote Health, 09/14/09

Morgan S et al. – Development of the CBME model in Darwin posed a number of key challenges. Although the experience of past rural programs was useful, a number of distinct differences were evident in the urban setting. Change leadership and inter–professional collaboration were key strengths in the implementation and ongoing evaluation of the program. The program will provide important information about medical student training in urban community settings, and help inform other clinical schools considering the adoption of similar models.
