Medical Deans Indigenous Health Project

In 2002, the Medical Deans of Australia and New Zealand, formerly the Committee of Deans of Australian Medical Schools (CDAMS) partnered with the Office of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health (OATSIH) in the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing (DoHA) to establish and implement the CDAMS Indigenous Health Curriculum Development Project, later referred to as the Medical Deans Indigenous Health Project.

The Indigenous Health Project was hosted by Onemda VicHealth Koori Health Unit at the University of Melbourne and consisted of two phases.

The LIME Connection

The LIME Connection is a biennial conference which provides an opportunity in which quality review, professional development, networking, capacity-building and advocacy functions of the network are actualised. It brings together Indigenous and non-Indigenous medical educators, Indigenous health specialists, policy makers, and community members from Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States of America to discuss innovative approaches in Indigenous medical education and the experiences of practitioners.
