What will you learn?
This online program focusses on educating rural Fellows on the issues encountered when treating indigenous patients. You will explore issues such as indigenous patients taking their own leave from hospital and not showing up for appointments. Strategies for better communicating with indigenous people will also be provided. The eight modules use reading material, case studies and a discussion forum to increase the interaction and support network of specialists who care for indigenous people in rural and remote locations.
