The Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) offers a drug and alcohol addiction education program that includes incentivised activities to help general practitioners address drug and alcohol addiction in their communities.
Virtual workshops
These highly interactive workshops are delivered monthly and provide the tools and techniques for GPs to address addiction issues and engage with their local AOD resources and referral pathways. Participants have the opportunity to analyse case studies and contextualise them to the unique needs of their community.
Eligible ACRRM members are entitled to incentive grant payments of $2,700 on completion of the workshop.
Online Learning Course
‘Alcohol and Other Drugs – Driving Change in Communities’ is aimed at increasing your knowledge and understanding of the various outcomes of substance use. This self-directed online course will enable clinicians to effectively assess and manage patients and optimise treatment options available in their local community.
Eligible ACRRM members are entitled to an incentive grant payment of $1,300 on completion of the course and online post-course evaluation survey.
