MĀORI JOURNAL CLUB INVITATION – CHRISTCHURCH
Dr Cameron Lacey (Senior Lecturer, University of Otago - Christchurch) is co-ordinating a Māori Journal Club/CME to be held monthly at the Māori/Indigenous Health Institute (MIHI) on Fridays at 7.15am. All Māori doctors and Māori medical students are invited. We aim to follow a usual journal club format but focus on Māori research as well as providing an opportunity for whakawhānaungatanga.
I know you are all very busy people and have many demands placed upon you - but here is an opportunity to tick several boxes at once – stay up to date with CME/CPD, catch up with colleagues, support Māori students and have a nutritious breakfast! Please contact cameronlacey@gmail.com for more information.
Indigenous Medical Specialists: a plan of action
Plain Language Statement and Invitation to Participate
The purpose of the project is to develop an action plan for the Committee of Presidents of Medical Colleges (CPMC) to increase the number of Indigenous medical specialists. The proposed interviews are to inform the development of the action plan. To do this, two aims are foremost. The first is to highlight barriers or enablers for Indigenous doctors entering the medical specialties, including the role (if any) of mentors. A second aim is to build on Indigenous health curriculum development in basic medical education by seeking the perspectives of Indigenous specialists and their mentors. Finally, perspectives on medical specialists contribution to ‘closing the gap’ will be sought.
This project has been funded by the CPMC. Involvement will constitute a face to face (or possibly telephone) interview of up to one hour in length, which will be audio recorded and transcribed. A copy of the action plan can be sent to you if you wish.
If you would like to participate in this research, please contact the principal research, Shaun Ewen, on 03 8344 9230 or at shaun.ewen@unimelb.edu.au.
