Abstract
As part of a larger project which aimed to enhance the quality of medical teaching and learning in rural settings in southern Queensland, workshops for medical teachers were conducted in five rural centres. The workshops were the final intervention strategy in a series of direct contacts with rural medical teachers, including interviews, observations of their teaching, and videotaping of teaching/learning sessions for the preparation of an audio-visual kit. The workshops were designed primarily to continue the type of direct and practical support for rural medical teachers which was intrinsic to the project from its inception. They were also used to guide refinement of the model and the kit. Thirty rural medical teachers participated, and assessed the workshops as a worthwhile experience. This paper reports on the preparation, conduct and evaluation of the workshops.
