Determining The Right Balance Of Indigenous Health Education In An Undergraduate Medical Program In Australia – How Did We Do It?, Janie Smith, Shannon Springer
Determining The Right Balance Of Indigenous Health Education In An Undergraduate Medical Program In Australia – How Did We Do It?, Janie Smith, Shannon Springer
Janie Smith
There are a number of national standards, educational frameworks and long lists of expected learning outcomes in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health that Australian medical schools are expected to achieve. A recent evaluation found that many universities struggled to meet the requirements into their already crowded curriculum and many were doing it poorly. Bond University on the Gold Coast was no exceptionwith good intent but mixed results. In 2011 Bond commenced a renewal of its curriculum. Part of the renewal process was to examine what Indigenous health was being taught across the curriculum and how to better meet the …

Cultural Immersion—What Impact Does It Have?, Janie Smith
Cultural Immersion—What Impact Does It Have?, Janie Smith

What do we know about the rural and remote pharmacist workforce? Really, we know little about the rural pharmacist workforce in Australia: who they are, what their background is, why they choose to work rurally and why they leave or stay. The workforce shortages compare only with medicine despite the pharmacist student intake having doubled over the past decade, along with a significant increase in the number of regional pharmacy schools. Between 2008 and 2010 a large national pharmacist research project was undertaken, funded by the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, to describe the rural and remote pharmacist workforce for the …

The Potential Impact Of Higher Course Fees On Career Choice, Richard Hays, Kathleen Lockhart, Edward Teo, Janie Smith, David Waynforth
Janie Smith
Background: Most Australian medical student places are government-supported, reducing the cost of tuition to about $10,000 each year, but some private places with fees cost up to $60,000 per year. In North America, debt at graduation is associated with different career choices. We explored the relationship between potential debt at graduation and future career preference. Summary of Work: Data were accessed from the Medical Schools Outcomes database Exit Questionnaire for both government-supported and full fee paying (FFP) students from 2008-11 in all Australian medical schools. The influence of gender, age, relationship status and fee-paying status on future career preference (specialty …

Using Cultural Immersion In A First Year Undergraduate Medical Program In Australia., Janie Smith, Shannon Springer
Janie Smith
All health professionals require an understanding of different cultures to be able to work effectively and safely with their patients and other team members. In 2011 Bond University renewed its undergraduate medical program to include significant cultural awareness and Indigenous health education, as a result of community need and Australian Medical Council recommendations. This included in 2012 Bond establishing an Indigenous Health Unit and an Indigenous Health Working Party to implement its curriculum. For the past two years Bonds first year students have undertaken a compulsory two day cultural immersion process to increase their understanding of other cultures, particularly Australian …

Using A Peer Supervision And Mentoring Model In The Supervision Of Final Year Medical Student Placements In The Solomon Islands, Janie Smith, Peter Jones, James Fink
Janie Smith
Background: Makira Island in the Solomon Islands has a population of over 41,000 people, which in 2013 was serviced by one doctor, who worked in the hospital and traveled to remote sites, supported by highly skilled nursing staff. The capital Kira Kira is a very impoverished community with no formal governance structure, poor infrastructure and a large variety of public health issues that lead to fascinating medicine. Summary of Work: In 2013 Bond University’s School of Medicine in Australia commenced 5th year medical student placements at Kira Kira Hospital, with 33 students participating. At times there was little if no …
Does Cultural Awareness Education Have An Impact On Students’ Attitudes?, Janie Smith, Sally Sargeant
Does Cultural Awareness Education Have An Impact On Students’ Attitudes?, Janie Smith, Sally Sargeant
Janie Smith
Background:
All over the world people are conducting cultural awareness programs in an effort to educate health professionals about working in a culturally safe way with their patients, in an effort to improve health outcomes. However there is little evidence that any of these programs have a long term impact on the cultural safety of the students practice once graduated. In fact recent research indicates that training programs have been largely ineffective in improving doctors cultural skills, their behaviour or health outcomes. In fact there is anecdotal evidence that some approaches to cross cultural education are having the reverse effect …

Electives and selectives in developing countries are an important part of student learning experiences. During 2013, Bond University on the Gold Coast of Queensland in Australia piloted final year undergraduate medical student placements (n=33) at Kirakira Hospital, on Makira Island in the Solomon Islands. The placement was evaluated that year.
The clinical placement in Kirakira Hospital required 12 months of planning by the Faculty of Health Sciences and Medicine of Bond University in 2012. The evaluation of 2013 placements included a literature review; semi-structured interviews with participating Bond University and Kirakira Hospital staff, and with community …
Anatomical Variations: How Do Surgical And Radiology Training Programs Teach And Assess Them In Their Training Curricula, Athanasios Raikos, Janie Smith
Anatomical Variations: How Do Surgical And Radiology Training Programs Teach And Assess Them In Their Training Curricula, Athanasios Raikos, Janie Smith
Janie Smith
Sound knowledge of anatomy and anatomical variations plays an integral role in surgical and radiology specialties. This study investigated the current teaching and assessment trends on anatomical variations in various surgical and radiology specialty training curricula in Canada and Australia. A survey was sent to 122 Program Directors and Chairs of specialty committees in Canada and Directors of Training/Education in Australia of selected surgical and radiology specialties. A total of 80.7% of respondents report that their training curricula include anatomical variations. The highest rated classes of variations included in the curriculum are arterial (76%), venous (68%), followed by organs (64%). …

The Case Of Brian - A Reality Check On The Safe Use Of Medicines In Rural Australia, Janie Smith
Janie Smith
We often read or hear about the many wonderful developments in home medication reviews, ways of communicating with consumers and our quality improvement systems. But what does this mean at the coal-face for those older Australians living in rural and remote communities? Are these initiatives having an impact? Do people know about them and are they sustainable? The words sustainable and rural are often used together, not because rural is sustainable, but often because it is not. The Oxford Dictionary tells us that ‘sustainability’ means maintaining at length without interruption, weakening, losing power or quality; or to bear up from, …
