The Rural Generalist Anaesthesia (RGA) Roles in Practice describe the roles of a RGA and how they apply to a contemporary practice. There are seven RGA Roles in Practice, modelled closely upon ANZCA’s “Roles in Practice”. These Roles are relatively generic (by their nature) and are assessable via learning outcomes throughout RGA training. They have relevance in all RGA Clinical Fundamentals and Specialised Study Units.
This guide contains resources to aid in understanding these roles based on the ANZCA Roles in Practice and will be expanded to provide any RGA specific resources as required.
