The Victorian Management Residency Programme.
This paper describes an innovative approach to the development of health managers in the Victorian health system. Under what is known as the Management Residency Programme, young graduates are recruited to undertake a rigorous two year programme which blends the academic specialisation necessary for health managers, with the techniques of action learning available through exposure to a range of management situations in various field placements. The proponents of action research are seriously challenging the traditional approach to management education and the Management Residency Programme provides a unique opportunity to maximise the benefits of each philosophy.
