| Indigenous Curriculum Working Group |
The award recognises the team’s outstanding contribution to Indigenous health through their teaching and learning programs, and follows on from their success earlier this year when they were awarded the Dean’s Award for Teaching Excellence.
The working group, which was established in early 2017, has acted as a focal point to prioritise Indigenous health within the department. Under the guidance of the FMNHS Indigenous Health Curriculum Committee (IHCC), 26 new Indigenous-focused learning activities have been established and integrated across 13 undergraduate and six postgraduate units. Introduced teaching methods include flipped learning, use of technology (Instagram), and innovative use of learning spaces (place-based Indigenous mnemonics).
The Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences formed the Indigenous Health Curriculum Committee (IHCC) in 2014 to strengthen the integration of Aboriginal health curriculum within each of the health professional disciplines at Monash University.
Working Group lead, Ms Julia McCartan, said their membership in the IHCC had been instrumental in providing the necessary expertise to design the Indigenous health curriculum at Monash Nutrition.
“Under the guidance of the IHCC, we have scaffolded the learning outcomes of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Curriculum Framework across all levels of learning; from novice to entry to practice.”
The Indigenous Curriculum Working Group are recognised within the Faculty as a model of exemplary collaboration between academic and professional staff, and by the dietetic profession as leaders in the preparation of culturally capable graduates.
Congratulations to Indigenous Curriculum Working Group members Ms Julia McCartan, Ms Janeane Dart, Ms Andrea Bryce, Dr Aimee Dordevic, Ms Liza Barbour, Dr Nicole Kellow, and Associate Professor Julie Brimblecombe on their outstanding achievements.
