About the Conference
The 23rd Annual Conference is aimed to empower education in various health issues whilst addressing the key challenges facing Queensland rural doctors.
Running over two days with two additional days of pre conference workshops, the 2012 RDAQ conference will offer an excellent opportunity for exchanging ideas, developing new skills and networking with colleagues.
