Host Dr Sam Manger is joined by Emeritus Professor Richard Hays, a well known clinical and academic GP serving rural and regional Australia. In the 1990s he became the Professor of General Practice and Rural Health at the newly established North Queensland Clinical School (NQCS) which allowed medical students to complete their training in rural and remote Queensland, setting the stage for what would later become the Rural Clinical Schools, introduced by the Federal Government in the early 2000s. Richard was appointed the Foundation Dean of the James Cook University medical school, becoming the first GP to hold such a position in an Australasian medical school. Richard has over 300 peer-reviewed papers, publications and edited works, including the notable "Handbook of Rural Medicine in Australia" and relevant to our topic today "Travels though Historic Medical Education Sites of Europe" available here.
