Growth of the James Cook University Medical Program: Maintaining quality, continuing the vision, developing postgraduate pathways.

Postgraduate pathways are an important priority. Regional training hubs are being developed to support local pipelines into specialty practice. Queensland's Rural Generalist Pathway provides an incentivised pathway to rural practice while Generalist Medical Training provides a local training pipeline into general practice and rural medicine. As these initiatives mature, communities should benefit as JCU and other Australian programs continue to address local workforce needs.
