The Leaders in Indigenous Medical Education (LIME) Network is a program of Medical Deans Australia and New Zealand and receives funding to promote and support effective teaching and learning about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health in medical education, and the successful participation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in medical education programs.
The objectives of the LIME Network are to:
• enable the continued development and implementation of quality Indigenous health curriculum to improve education for all health students;
• build on and strengthen appropriate recruitment and retention initiatives for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health students;
• build the capacity of those working in Indigenous health at medical schools;
• develop pathways for vertical integration of Indigenous health curriculum and student recruitment strategies with specialist medical colleges;
• strengthen Indigenous health initiatives across health disciplines; and
• facilitate key relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community controlled health organisations and health sciences schools to improve collaboration, student placement opportunities and research initiatives.
This program is consistent with the government’s objectives to improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health outcomes and contribute to the achievement of the Department of Health’s (the department) Program 2.3 Health Workforce by providing workforce support and training, with a focus on improving access to health services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.
