Project Details
Description
This research program investigates the role of the community and the rural health context in shaping and informing health professions education in South Australia, and ways that health profession students might meaningfully engage with the communities in which they are located. The program works with local community organisations to identify, build and exchange knowledge and skills that benefit both the community and the rural health curriculum, within a service learning framework. Its broad scope allows for cross-activity analysis, to yield deeper insights that might be broadly applicable.
The aims of the research are to:
1) Build capacity in rural communities to address local health priorities
2) Develop new models and methods of health professions education appropriate to the rural community context
3) Foster new partnerships (relationships) between community, industry and Flinders University in regional South Australia
4) Proactively support rural workforce outcomes
