Download or read book Indigenous Students Journeys to and Through Allied Healthcare Programs written by and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communication between practitioner and patient is key in developing a trusting clinical relationship. However, interactions between Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander patients and medical and allied health practitioners can be problematic due to cultural misunderstandings. Many Indigenous people have reported poor past experiences with their non-Indigenous healthcare providers, a significant barrier to the delivery of successful health care for Indigenous people (Downing et al., 2011). Building capacity in the Indigenous health workforce has been suggested as one way of improving the healthcare experience, thereby enhancing Indigenous health outcomes. At the time of writing, Indigenous people were poorly represented in healthcare professions with 0.4% of medical professionals and 0.4% of allied healthcare professionals identifying as Indigenous (IAHA, 2018; AMA, 2014). Publicly available statistics on the percentage of Indigenous practitioners for many healthcare professions can be found by searching the appropriate regulatory body. However, the numbers of Indigenous students within healthcare fields, particularly the allied health fields, are less well known. Examining Indigenous student participation for specific allied health professions was therefore one aim of the current Fellowship. This report details the findings and recommendations from the National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education [NCSEHE] Research Fellowship entitled Indigenous Participation in Higher Degree and Vocational Education Healthcare Programs. This one-year study investigated the national profile of Indigenous students enrolled in select higher education and vocational education allied healthcare study, as well as the institutional factors linked with success in access and retention. In undertaking the Fellowship, existing research and policy documents were considered including the Behrendt Review (2012), the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workforce Strategic Framework - 2016-2023, and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Curriculum Framework.
