An Indigenist review of the development of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander emergency medicine workforce in Australia
Are you an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander FACEM, trainee, associate, or have left or considered the Fellowship training program? We want to hear from you! CLICK HERE to email us.
Dr Ryan Dashwood, FACEM, in conjunction with Karabena Consulting, is conducting an Indigenous led research project exploring the experiences of Australia’s First Nations Doctors and the emergency medicine training journey to prepare evidence based recommendations to ensure success and not just parity.
Using an Indigenist approach, the emergency medicine specialty training environment will be reviewed to identify an active plan to increase the number of First Nations emergency medicine specialty trainees that successfully achieve fellowship.
