Rural and regional communities deserve equitable access to high-quality healthcare, and medical students deserve meaningful opportunities to learn, connect and build the skills needed to deliver it.
The NSWMSC Rural Health Symposium 2026 brings together medical students from across NSW and the ACT for a weekend of practical workshops, inspiring speakers, cultural learning and networking with clinicians and organisations working in rural health.
Whether you are committed to a rural career, curious about regional training opportunities or simply want to expand your clinical skills, the symposium offers a unique opportunity to learn beyond the classroom and experience what rural medicine has to offer.
With hands-on ultrasound training, cultural immersion, engaging plenary sessions, social activities and opportunities to connect with students and health professionals from across the state, this is more than a conference; it is a weekend designed to inspire your future in medicine.
WHEN: 28th – 30th August 2026
WHERE: SHREC Building, Port Macquarie NSW
WHO: All medical students and prevocational doctors interested in a career as a rural doctor.
