3. Supervisors' Compass Podcast Ep#14 – Fostering Clinical Courage in Registrars

What does clinical courage look like in Rural Generalist practice, and how can supervisors foster it in registrars? In this episode of the ACRRM RG podcast Supervisors’ Compass, Dr James Best and Professor Richard Hays are joined by Professor Lucie Walters and Dr Emily Moody to explore the concept of clinical courage and its importance in rural and remote medicine.

The discussion explores how clinical courage goes beyond simply taking risks or acting bravely. It involves understanding contemporary best practice, recognising the realities and constraints of the local context, and adapting care in partnership with patients to meet their needs safely and appropriately.

For supervisors, this episode offers practical insights into helping registrars build the judgement, confidence and adaptability needed to make courageous, patient and place-based decisions in rural practice.
