Project Title: Can global consensus be arrived at as to the essential components of training for ensuring confident and effective medical practice in remote settings?

Project Description:
This project will undertake an initial review of all global programs which seek to train remote medical practitioners. The initial review will inform the first stage of a Delphi process calling on the expertise of leaders in this area from around the world. On completion of the full Delphi process it is hoped to arrive at a draft consensus position for the essential features for training for those practicing in remote locations anywhere in the world.
