Supervision & Support: |
Students are supported by a doctor
whether in a community, Congress, at hospital or a town GP clinic.
In some cases, if a student is in a remote community without a resident
GP, they will be supervised by remote area nurses (RAN's) and will
also work along side Aboriginal Health Workers (AHW's). The NTGPE
Medical Educator will provide clinical supervision. However, in
these cases a medical officer is always on-call to answer questions,
etc Students maintain regular contact with NTGPE during their placement, and if problems arise, students are encouraged to speak to their medical mentor or other CA-RUSC staff. The CA RUSC Coordinator or NTGPE Cultural educators is available to discuss culturally sensitive issues and students will have the opportunity to join in telephone tutorials with other students, doctors and NTGPE staff. |
Weekly teleconferences
are held each Friday lunch-time between all students and the NTGPE
Medical Educator. This is an opportunity to discuss medical issues
that arise as well as to here the familiar voices of fellow students |
