Postgraduate Scholarship on Indigenous chronic disease and health professional education

Several full-time postgraduate scholarships are available over the next three years for suitably qualified candidates to undertake research studies leading to a Masters (Research) or Doctorate on exploring how health professional education can reduce disparities in chronic disease care and improve outcomes for Indigenous populations.

These opportunities are part of a larger project called Educating for Equity.  This project is about comparing, building and sharing experiences and approaches to Indigenous health teaching and learning in the area of chronic disease. A major focus of the project will be on ensuring that the lessons from the project are translated into practice.

Applicants should have a Bachelors degree with Honours or a Masters Degree in Indigenous health, education, public health, social science, or a related discipline.  Experience/background in qualitative research and/or knowledge of Indigenous health and health professional education would be an advantage. The successful applicant/s will be in a position to commence their candidature subject to successful enrolment in a research Masters or PhD through the University of Western Australia, University of Melbourne or University of Queensland.
