What is Rural psychiatry training: perspectives from New South Wales, Australia about?

Objective: To discuss the challenges and rewards of training in psychiatry while living and working in a rural area. The authors draw on their experiences as registrars on the mid-north coast of New South Wales, Australia. Conclusions: Rural psychiatrists and mental health workers meet with various challenges and rewards while practising and living in places of relative isolation; these have been described by practitioners in Australia, New Zealand and the USA. Psychiatry trainees often share these experiences but can also feel the impact of the disadvantages shared by most rural communities, particularly the lack of mental health services and maldistribution of mental health professionals. There are also unique difficulties and rewards to do with the process of training.
