I am the inaugural Director of the Gippsland Regional Clinical School, a position I have occupied since February 2003. Since late 2006, I have also concurrently held the position of Director of Clinical Training for the new graduate-entry, Gippsland Medical School.

Most of my medical career has been in rural Australia. This has included:

• Rural General Practice (5 ½ years) - in the small South Australian town of Cummins on Eyre Peninsula
• Medical Education (7 ½ years) - for the Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) – as Medical Educator and then State Director (for South Australia and the Northern Territory)
• Emergency Medicine (20 years) – Director of Emergency Services at Warrnambool (15 ½ years) and now (last 4 ½ years) part-time Senior Medical Officer, Latrobe Regional Hospital Emergency Department
• Academic Medicine (current position) where he has been responsible for the introduction of ongoing medical student placement in South, West and Central Gippsland and (more recently) for developing clinical placements for the Gippsland Medical School

My research interests include:

• Rural injury (especially farm injury)
• Educational research – he is especially interested in academic development in the more generalised clinical settings
