FINAL reminder - Rural Generalist CME Workshop, Rarotonga 5-7 August 2026
Registrations close 26th June
This workshop is aimed at generalist doctors who work in rural hospitals and/or rural general practice. We aim to provide evidence-based, clinical updates that take into account the rural context. We engage speakers who either work rurally or have a strong understanding of the challenges of working remotely, with limited resources. It is also a really great opportunity to connect with colleagues from across Aotearoa and the Pacific – growing and strengthening our rural health community. Current topics this year will revolve around paediatrics, mental health, toxicology, neonates, ultrasound and more. We will have the usual knowledge in the room, mystery activities and a dinner for all. Our lineup of current speakers includes: Mark Lankshear, Trevor Llyod,Susan Weggery, Dinesha Kumarawansa, Nicky Gaffney, and Lisa Ten Eyck
