The Victorian Management Residency Programme: a student's perspective.
In February 1990, a new management training programme was established in Victoria which aimed to attract promising young graduates into the health system and develop their skills and competencies for a successful career in health services management. This innovative approach to the development of health executives combines the principles of action learning with the academic specialisation that is considered essential for health managers. The Management Residency Programme involves a series of placements to a variety of health care institutions over a two year period. These placements allow wide exposure to different management situations and provide the opportunity for the Resident to interact with a multitude of diverse health personnel. This paper seeks to explore the strengths of the Management Residency Programme for both the trainee and the health system as seen from the perspective of an ex-Resident.
