The RAMUS Alumnus is the network of former RAMUS scholars and current and former RAMUS mentors which supports RAMUS scholars to ‘go rural’. Through the Alumnus program you can maintain contact with the RAMUS scheme and fellow doctors with a commitment to rural practice. Alumnus members receive:

• Invitations to Alumnus events and other networking activities
• RAMUS newsletter (issued electronically)
• National Rural Health Alliance Partyline newsletter and other selected publications.

Former scholars as RAMUS mentors

The RAMUS Alumnus is a pathway for former RAMUS scholars to take on a mentoring role in the RAMUS Scheme at an appropriate stage in their career. Scholar Alumni may elect to be included in a register of those who are willing to mentor a RAMUS scholar. They will be eligible to become mentors once they have commenced vocational training and are working and/or training in a rural or remote location.

Australian Journal of Rural Health

RAMUS scholars who graduated in the previous year and who have joined the RAMUS alumnus have free online access to the Australian Journal of Rural Health (AJRH) for one year. The AJRH is a multidisciplinary refereed journal. It is peer reviewed and listed in Medline, as well as being covered by other major abstracting and indexing services. It provides research information, policy articles and reflections related to health care in rural and remote areas of Australia, and is an important publication vehicle for researchers and practitioners.
