The Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) is working in conjunction with the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand (CSANZ) to develop three modules focusing on cardiovascular disease and healthcare in Indigenous rural and remote communities.
These web-based, interactive modules are currently in development for release at the end of 2012 and will provide continuing professional development for health professionals engaged in the delivery of cardiovascular health care for Indigenous Australians. The modules are targeted at 15,000 specialist physicians and trainees and 500 specialist cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons. It is expected that rural and regional practitioners in particular will benefit from them.
The key topic areas to be covered include:
The online modules will include video and audio footage and be interactive, incorporating a question and answer format and further reading.
This project has been funded by the Department of Health and Ageing (DoHA) under the Rural Health Continuing Education sub-program (RHCE) stream one program which is managed by the Committee of Presidents of Medical Colleges.
