Medical Profession Specific. Continuous learning and professional development fosters an engaged and responsive medical workforce that drives excellence and innovation in the delivery of health care. The LHN will support ongoing medical education and training in line with the SA Medical Education and Training principles. The LHN will also have systems in place to recognise high performance in education and training as a means for promoting a culture of excellence and innovation. The LHN must maintain accreditation standards for medical intern and other medical training positions, as set out by the South Australian Medical Education and Training Council and specialty medical colleges. Medical training positions can be located in metropolitan and rural and remote settings. Medical training networks can be developed and will assist with linking country LHNs with metropolitan LHNs to increase rural training opportunities for all levels of medical trainees, including specialist training programs. Training networks can cross LHN boundaries, including rural and remote, and ensure a complete and varied experience for medical professionals in different clinical contexts and hospital settings. Directors of clinical training will oversee the training in their network, and for their specialty, and will have working relationships across the system with their equivalents.
