Interprofessional Learning

We run a weekly multidisciplinary education program every Wednesday. This program is aimed at students in their final years studying any of the health care disciplines within any Australian university or vocational care setting. We have students from a broad range of disciplines and universities attend these sessions, including medicine, nursing, dentistry, oral health, pharmacy and allied health.

The Wednesday program is also open to service providers and clinicians across health and social care settings. We ensure a broad range of perspectives are presented, and include cultural awareness education as a fundamental component. We invite presenters from local, state and national health and social care services. For example, we regularly hear from organisations such as the National Digital Health Agency, My Aged Care, NDIS, Northern NSW Local Health District and the NSW Cancer Council. The program also includes the perspective of people with lived experience.

Participants can attend the whole day or individual sessions. Most of the sessions are also offered online.

Providing this opportunity for training students from different disciplines together with service providers ensures that our health students graduate with a broader understanding of the health and social care sector and an understanding of how health is provided within primary care settings.

The Wednesday programs runs from 9.30am–3.30pm most Wednesdays from late January until the end of November each year.
