Abstract:
Objective: To identify factors influencing whether Australian medical graduates prefer to, or actually, work rurally
Design: Secondary analysis of longitudinal data from the Medical Schools Outcomes Database (MSOD) using univariate and multivariate logistic regression.
Setting: Twenty Australian medical schools.
Participants: Australian or New Zealand citizens and Australian permanent residents who completed MSOD questionnaires between 2006 and 2013.
Main outcome measures: Preferred and actual work locations one (PGY1) and three (PGY3) years post-graduation.
Results: Of 20,784 participants, 4028 completed a PGY1 and/or PGY3 questionnaire. Self-reported preference for rural practice location at medical school commencement was the most consistent independent predictor …

Objectives: The primary objective was to determine if the early goal-directed mobilization (EGDM) intervention could be delivered to patients receiving mechanical ventilation with increased maximal levels of activity compared to standard care.
Design: A pilot, randomized controlled trial
Setting: Five intensive care units (ICUs) in Australia and New Zealand
Participants: Fifty critically ill adults, mechanically ventilated for greater than 24 hours.
Intervention: Patients were randomly assigned to either EGDM (intervention) or to standard care (control). EGDM comprised functional rehabilitation treatment conducted at the highest level of activity possible for that patient assessed by the ICU mobility scale …
