Abstract
The launch of the Australian National Indigenous Health Curriculum Framework in 2004 has provided a framework and impetus for medical schools in Australia to include an Indigenous health curriculum in their medical courses. To ensure the efficacy of this work, a systematic evaluation of this curriculum needs to be carried out. This paper gives an outline of one shortterm evaluation of an Indigenous health curriculum in a child and adolescent health rotation.
