RDAA Rural Doctor of the
Year Award
Each
year, RDAA recognises the
achievements and commitment of rural doctors, registrars and medical
students working in rural and remote health. Doctors are nominated for the RDAA Rural Doctor of the Year Award by their colleagues
or communities. The nominees are then selected for the short-list by our
judging panel.
