The conference themes are

1. Clinical supervision and clinical teaching
   The first half day of the conference will provide conference participants with an opportunity to learn about new approaches to clinical supervision. Brush up on a skill such as giving feedback, or learn more about how individual clinics or units organize placements. You might like to demonstrate some clinical simulation or how you teach cultural safety to health professional students. Students can present their experiences of authentic learning activities.
   
   

2. Showcasing SA rural health research and researchers
   South Australia boasts some impressive rural clinical research this half day will focus on allowing conference participants to rub shoulders with research giants, or celebrate the next generation of clinician researchers. Put your hat in the ring and submit an abstract letting others know about your current research. Let’s celebrate the work done to Close the Gap and to improve health outcomes for rural people. This is an opportunity for students and first time researchers to present.
   
   

3. Research capacity building rural health professionals
   We are all at different points on our clinical research journey. Do you know something now that you wish you had learnt earlier in your research career? Do you have a few tips to share with others? This session aims to send everyone home, just a little more savvy at supporting their students and junior staff with research projects, clinical audit and continuous quality improvement. Students and early career clinician researchers are invited to describe their research journey and what they look for in a supervisor.

The SARHRE Conference includes presentations about cultural safety and Aboriginal health in each of these three themes.

The presentation modalities of the submitted abstracts include the following:

• Speed presentations (available for current health professional students) to provide students with the opportunities to contribute (3 minutes, max 3 slides) .

• Personally Arranged Learning Sessions (PeArLS) introduce a challenge or a dilemma to participants and benefit from collective problem solving from the group.

PeArLS sessions will be 40 minutes and be limited to 5 "presentation" slides.
