Rate My Professor Rhonda Worthington

Worthington collaborated closely with leadership to establish the RCSWA headquarters in Kalgoorlie and rapidly expand to additional sites including Geraldton, Port Hedland, and Broome by the end of 2002. During Geoff Riley's tenure as head from 2007 to 2013, she contributed to strategic decisions for new sites, evaluating factors such as population size, availability of doctors, suitability of office space, and student housing to ensure effective clinical experiences. Her administrative expertise supported the school's growth across Western Australia. Worthington is a co-author on key publications, including 'Longitudinal assessment in an undergraduate longitudinal integrated clerkship: The mini Clinical Evaluation Exercise (mCEX) profile,' published in Medical Teacher in 2013, and 'Women in the rural medical academic workforce,' published in Rural and Remote Health in 2013. In 2023, she received the Dean's Award from the UWA Medical School for her contributions to the Rural Clinical School. Through her long service, Worthington has significantly aided the RCSWA's operational foundation and statewide presence, enhancing rural medical education.
