Healthcare improvement and education


Monash University aims to improve healthcare delivery and education through various initiatives:

  • The Leaning into Leadership course, developed by Professor Frank Bowden, empowers doctors in training with leadership skills, addressing gaps in medical education and practice.
  • The Digital Library project, in partnership with the National Centre for Healthy Ageing and Peninsula Health, enhances healthcare outcomes through improved communication.
  • New short courses by Monash Rural Health provide healthcare knowledge for diverse backgrounds, addressing workforce needs in disability, respite, and aged care sectors.
  • Dr Filippe Oliveira's work in women's health education has significantly impacted student learning and workforce development.
  • The Medical Education Research and Quality (MERQ) Unit celebrates a decade of enhancing health and medical education through evidence-based practices.
  • The Prevocational Medical Education Forum, involving Monash Rural Health, focuses on rural training and education for junior doctors.
  • A workshop in Swan Hill, led by Dr Lisa Hall, enhances supervisory skills among local medical professionals.
  • Monash-led research highlights the need for support and training for primary care clinicians in delivering early medical abortion and long-acting reversible contraception.
