The Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) has appointed Tasmanian Rural Generalist Dr Brian Treanor as its College Council representative for Tasmania.
ACRRM President Dr Rod Martin says Dr Treanor brings extensive experience in rural generalism, medical education and health system leadership, both in Tasmania and nationally.
“Dr Treanor has a strong understanding of the issues facing Rural Generalists in Tasmania, as well as valuable insight from working in highly integrated Rural Generalist systems interstate,” Dr Martin says.
“He is deeply committed to strengthening rural training pathways and supporting the next generation of rural doctors, and we are delighted to welcome him to ACRRM Council as Tasmania’s representative.”
Originally from Ireland, Dr Treanor began his career in nursing before establishing and managing a not-for-profit organisation providing support services for people with disability and older members of the community.
He later completed his medical studies at the University of Tasmania, followed by work at the Royal Hobart Hospital and ACRRM registrar training in Snug. Dr Treanor then spent time in Queensland, living and working in Mareeba near Cairns, where he became Director of Medical Services at the local hospital.
Dr Treanor, who is a Fellow of ACRRM and holds the Diploma of Rural Generalist Anaesthesia, says his experiences across different rural health systems have shaped his commitment to rural generalism in Tasmania.
“I came to medicine with the goal of being an old-fashioned country GP, and rural generalism has given me a framework to do exactly that and more,” Dr Treanor says.
“Having worked in both Tasmania and Queensland, I’ve seen how strong training pathways and integrated systems can make a real difference for rural communities and for the doctors who serve them.”
Dr Treanor is Director of the Tasmanian Rural Generalist Pathway, working closely with medical students, doctors in training, universities, colleges and health system partners. He is also Co-Chair of the Jurisdictional Implementation Forum for the National Rural Generalist Pathway, liaising with other states, territories and the Commonwealth Department of Health and Aged Care.
“I’m looking forward to representing Tasmanian Rural Generalists on College Council and ensuring their voices and experiences are reflected in national discussions,” Dr Treanor says.
