This month Dr Lord Cowell took a trip to Cobar to instruct medical professionals as part of the Emergency Medicine Education and Training (EMET) program.
“It is great to support regional doctors and nurses in providing excellent medical care to patients,” he said.
“These people do an amazing job, made all the harder by geographical isolation and limited resources.
“Dubbo Hospital’s Emergency Department is proud to be rolling this initiative out across our catchment area, which is the largest in the state.”
Dr Cowell is encouraging participation in future training sessions in the region, made possible through the support of the federal government and the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine.
The EMET program provides emergency medicine training in rural Australia.
