Professor Lucie Walters, PhD is Director of Adelaide Rural Clinical School. This program provides a full academic year of clinical training to University of Adelaide medical students in their penultimate year. Students are based in small rural communities in the north and west part of rural South Australia where they actively participate in patient care under the supervision of experienced rural doctors in general practice, rural hospitals, and community and outpatient settings.

Her research interests include work-integrated learning, adult education pedagogies, and rural training pathways, and rural generalism in medicine.
