RACGP Rural is offering an accessible case-based masterclass delivered via teleconference. The masterclass is intended to help:
- extend your skills by exploring intervention methods
- address challenging cases, and

This is offered in an accessible teleconference format consisting of four two-hour, case-based discussions held between September and November 2019. Available groups are:
- Group 2 – 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm (AEST) on Mondays the 23/09, 07/10, 21/10 and 4/11.
