Gerber 1 , Professor Louis I. Landau 21. Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Medical Deans Australia and New Zealand2. Director, Medical Students Outcomes Database, Medical Deans Australia and New ZealandAbstractThis presentation will outline how the Medical Student Outcomes Database (MSOD) can promote innovationin Indigenous health. Rural and remote doctor shortages impact health outcomes in rural Australia, andparticularly disadvantage Indigenous Australians because of their overrepresentation in rural and remoteareas. Assessing the impact of educational innovations on rural and remote outcomes is essential to ensurethat effective innovations are recognised. The MSOD tracks medical students from the commencement oftheir medical education through to their work outcomes. The impact of various educational strategies on rural& remote practice intentions will be discussed, focussing on the 2005 pilot sample of 150 students. Amongstthis sample, rural placements were effective in changing intentions towards more rural & remote practice.The impact of rural clubs, demographics such as age & marital status, generalist intentions & previousrurality will also be examined.Aside from this predictive analysis, the MSOD can assess the trends in education innovation across years,showing whether the effective strategies are gaining or losing ground. Trends in medical education from 2005to 2007 will be discussed. The predictive results will then be discussed in light of the overarching trends inmedical education.Presenter: Dr Jonathan GerberJonathan is currently the postdoctoral research fellow on the Medical SchoolsOutcomes Database (MSOD). In this capacity, he is investigating the impact ofeducational initiatives on workforce outcomes such as rural and generalist intentions.Jonathan completed his PhD in psychology at Macquarie University in 2008 and hasworked on ARC grants on interpersonal rejection and social comparison. He has aparticular interest in meta-analytic techniques and lectures postgraduate statisticspart-time.64
Developing strong Murries & keeping them inMs Jenine Godwin 1 , A/Professor Jacinta Elston 21. Acting Head, Indigenous Health Unit, Faculty of Medicine, Health and Molecular Sciences (FMHMS),James Cook University2. Head of Indigenous Health Unit, Faculty of Medicine, Health and Molecular Sciences (FMHMS),James Cook UniversityAbstractIn 2006, the Indigenous Health Unit (IHU) at James Cook University (JCU), Townsville introduced across theFaculty of Medicine, Health and Molecular Sciences (FMHMS), an Indigenous student access program calledthe Indigenous Health Career Access Program (IHCAP).IHCAP is specifically designed to support and provide a tailored program of capacity building for studentswho enrol in a health science degree at JCU. This project aims to achieve the following objectives in healthprofessional education:1. Support of Indigenous students in Townsville and Cairns. The program will continue the development ofa multi-pronged framework of support for Indigenous students to successfully enter and remain in thehealth professional education programs of the FMHMS.2. Develop and implement a pilot program called Health Careers Aspire Program for Indigenous SecondaryStudents (HCAPISS), in Townsville.3. Provide broad-ranging support and pro-active activities, such as ‘Health Careers Roadshow’ withSecondary schools across North Queensland, to enable the participation of Indigenous students.There remains an overwhelming workforce demand for Indigenous health professionals locally, throughoutthe state and across Australia. Health authorities have determined support and retention strategies are vitalto encourage more Indigenous people into health related professions. The IHCAP program has increasinglybeen instrumental in the motivated and championed approaches within the FMHMS, in supporting Indigenousstudents here at JCU.Presenter: Ms Jenine GodwinJenine is a Yaggerah Aboriginal woman from the Moreton Bay area and has workedextensively with the Townsville community as well as Aboriginal communities in thegulf and North West regional communities in Queensland. As an Aboriginal educator/researcher, Jenine desires to continue to further her own knowledge and experienceto meet the challenges of Aboriginal health. Her interests and experience are inresearch, policy development, developing and delivering educational curriculum, andimplementing and coordinating culturally appropriate programs for service delivery.Jenine believes the key to this is through education and capacity building withinhealth services and thus the community, underpinned by ways of ‘knowing and doing’culturally appropriate health practice.65
