Australian Aboriginal trainee health service management program: a new initiative.
This paper explores the development, implementation and evaluation of the Australian Aboriginal trainee health service management program in New South Wales. In 1997, the two-year pilot program commenced with ten trainees. The program consisted of a combination of work-based placements, formal university education and Australian College of Health Service Executives (ACHSE) professional development sessions. The program has allowed trainees to gain professional skills and knowledge and broader work experience, in order to increase their employment opportunities throughout the Australian health care system.
