Key Points

This research aims to develop a new admission scheme to support the rural medical workforce and improve health outcomes between rural and urban areas.
Evaluation of current admission schemes
Assessment of health outcome variations
Collaboration with Stats NZ for data updates
The new admission scheme could supplement the rural medical workforce.
Health outcome variations between rural and urban areas may be reduced.

Implication

Evaluation of an admission scheme aims to enhance rural medical workforce in New Zealand, indicating potential health improvements.

Abstract

The updated RRAS will assist in supplementing the future professional rural medical workforce, and subsequently help to reduce health outcome variations between rural and urban areas in New Zealand. The modified UA 2020 is likely to be updated regularly by Stats NZ, and therefore the RRAS can be kept up to date in the future.
