    Keynote Presentation: Dr Olivia O’Donoghue (Workshop)

    Medical education and training in Australia are primarily enshrined in western epistemologies and methodologies. This paradigm inevitably advantages dominant cultural groups and disadvantages minority cohorts such as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities have a long history of teaching, learning, science, research and sustainable living which had not been acknowledge and was actively and detrimentally disrupted through colonising processes. 

     

    Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of teaching and learning are immersive, layered, relational and connected to community and culture. Embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander pedagogies and methodologies into medical education systems is a fundamental step in realising systems change that will lead to culturally safe and responsive learning environments. 

     

    In this session we will explore the application of twelve fundamental principles to guide transformative change in medical and clinical education that foregrounds Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander values. These principles will not only afford enhancements to improve outcomes both in educational delivery and safety, but will contribute to training and workforce equity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and to improving health outcomes for all Australians. 

    The twelve guiding principles are non-hierarchical and equally as important as each other as they are intimately interconnected to each other. These principles are Decolonisation; Indigenisation; Self-determination; Leadership; Equity; Cultural Safety; Values and Knowing, Being and Doing; Strengths-based Approaches; Trauma informed; Racism, Discrimination and Privilege; Sovereignty and Data Sovereignty. We will collectively define these principles and discuss practical and tangible ways to implement them in the context of medical education and medical learning institutions. 

     

    Learning Objectives 

    1. Develop a shared understanding of twelve guiding principles that embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander values, epistemologies and methodologies to enhance medical education and training. 

    2. Explore strategies for the practical application of the twelve guiding principles within our medical training institutions. 

    3. Implement strengths based approaches while actively identifying and eliminating deficit narratives and dichotomous discourse.

Assoc Prof Rhys Jones


    Rhys Jones (Ngāti Kahungunu) is a public health physician and Associate Professor in Māori Health at Waipapa Taumata Rau / the University of Auckland. He has a leadership role in Māori Health teaching and learning in the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences. His teaching excellence has been recognised nationally and internationally, including the Prime Minister’s Supreme Award for Excellence in Tertiary Teaching in 2020. Rhys’s research addresses Indigenous health and health equity, with an emphasis on environmental wellbeing and decolonial approaches to planetary health. He is a passionate advocate for health equity, Indigenous rights and climate justice. Rhys was a founding co-convenor of OraTaiao: The New Zealand Climate and Health Council, and is co-director of Climate Health Aotearoa, a national climate change and health research network. 

      

    Keynote Presentation: Planetary health: what does it mean for prevocational medical education? 

     

    There is increasing recognition that climate disruption and ecological breakdown have serious implications for human health. Doctors and other health professionals have important roles to play in the global response to ecological crisis, and health professional education must therefore address planetary health competencies. Underpinning this is a need to develop a critical understanding of the role of colonial, capitalist systems in driving the intersecting social, environmental and health crises that we face. In this presentation, Rhys will discuss what this means for prevocational medical education. Rather than simply being an add-on to the existing curriculum, engaging with planetary health should cause us to question dominant models of health care education and practice. It has the potential to be disruptive and transformative, requiring learners, educators and practitioners to engage with colonialism, racism and white/settler privilege. We will consider the implications for medical education and training bodies, with an emphasis on decolonising curricula and centralising Indigenous values, knowledges and ways of being.

Dr Jade Tamatea


    Jade grew up in the Waikato region of Aotearoa New Zealand before studying medicine at The University of Auckland. Having now returned to the Waikato, Jade currently works as an academic, clinician and health leader. With a Fellowship with the Royal Australasian College of Physicians, she works as an Endocrinologist working within the Te Whatu Ora Waikato, providing clinical care for individuals with complex endocrinological conditions. She also works as Senior Lecturer at Waipapa Taumata Rau (University of Auckland), with a dual appointment in Te Kupenga Hauora Māori and the Department of Medicine where she focuses on growing the next generation of clinicians. In addition, Jade serves in many leadership and governance roles in healthcare, education and research.


    Jade’s passion is Māori health and she sees critique of the health services and system(s) as an important aspect of improving outcomes. Her research has looked at the journey of patients with thyrotoxicosis focusing on impact on Māori in the healthcare system and areas for improvement. As an endocrinologist, she takes this into her clinical sphere, driving for change in the delivery of healthcare for Māori. Through her teaching role, she is focused on developing graduates with deep understanding of hauora Māori (Māori health), with integrated clinical skills, and that are also critical-thinking life-long learners. 


    She thrives on the support of her wider whānau, her supportive husband and their two thriving rangatahi (teenagers). 


    Keynote Presentation: Mā te huruhuru ka rere te manu – Adorn the bird with feathers so that it may fly 

     

    The unjust gap in healthcare outcomes for Indigenous communities in Aotearoa, New Zealand, and Australia is unacceptable. Healthcare systems, services and practitioners all play a role in perpeutating, but also potentially eliminating, these inequities. Achieving equity for Indigenous communities in healthcare requires power-sharing partnerships with communities, including how we teach and assess our students and trainees. In the apprenticeship or tuakana-teina model of medical education, senior clinicians play a critical role in achieving health equity, now and in the future. 

     

    In this discussion, we will investigate our role in the education, supervision and assessment of Indigenous health for both students and trainees. Focussing on the role of clinical teaching and assessment in Indigenous health competencies, Dr Tamatea will share her learnings from curriculum development, teaching and assessment of hauora Māori (Māori health) into the clinical years of the MBChB year at Waipapa Taumata Rau (University of Auckland). Informed by her experiences as a clinical supervisor and mentor of PGY1 and 2 graduates, Dr Tamatea will consider the core competencies of all educators and discuss their experience of horizontal learning within their organisation. Finally, she will broach how to approach teaching Indigenous health in the racialised spaces in which students and trainees work and learn and how we can ensure they thrive in a system safe from harassment and racism.

Leanne Liddle 


    Born and raised in Alice Springs, Central Arrernte woman Leanne Liddle has a passion for justice. As Director of the Aboriginal Justice Unit, she’s travelled thousands of kilometres to meet and listen to Aboriginal communities across the Northern Territory.

    Leanne was South Australia’s first Aboriginal policewoman. During her decade of service, she experienced racism and abuse that she fought and used to fuel her passion to make a difference in the justice arena. 

    Leanne went on to complete a law degree and has since worked for the United Nations, and in several high-profile government roles, before joining the Aboriginal Justice Unit in 2017. 

    Leanne is committed to empowering Aboriginal Territorians with justice solutions that will work where others have failed. 


    Keynote Presentation: Cultural competence is unhealthy, cultural safety is crucial but not your call.  Your job is to eliminate racism in healthcare in all its forms.


    This keynote critiques cultural awareness and cultural competence in healthcare.  Cultural safety can only be determined by the patient.  Health workers and providers deliver what they believe and hope is good practice (often based on generic culturally appropriate guidelines).  These are often wrong and only Aboriginal experts (including patients and community-controlled health services) can actually assess cultural safety and therefore place-based best practice.  White privilege and racism is largely invisible to those who benefit from it BUT is very obvious to those who are harmed by it.  This talk will then briefly sketch of what doctors and medical schools can do to eliminate racism in all its forms, explaining the benefits in terms of better outcomes for patients, and consequently a genuine sense of “making a difference”.
