Graduating as a medical doctor or a Fellow is a huge achievement, and it is a privilege to be able to celebrate with you as you help to contribute towards equitable health outcomes.
To mark this momentous achievement in becoming an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander doctor and/or Fellow, all AIDA members are gifted with a hand-painted AIDA stethoscope upon graduating from medical school and/or becoming a Fellow.
The AIDA stethoscope symbolises the history and future of First Nations medicine as each additional doctor and Fellow works to change the landscape of healthcare across Australia and normalise our mob being medical professionals.
Traditionally AIDA presents the appropriate stethoscope to members during a special ceremony at the gala dinner during our annual conference. But this year it will be handed out at PRIDoC instead. If you would like to receive your stethoscope, fill in the form on our website below.
If you are receiving a framed stethoscope at PRIDoC 2024, please ensure to have space in your luggage to take the frame home as you will be responsible for getting it back home.
Please note that you must register by 1 October 2024 in order to receive your stethoscope at PRIDoC. Registration details to follow.
