CDAMS indigenous health curriculum framework / Gregory Phillips on behalf of the Project Steering Committee, Committee of Deans of Australian Medical Schools

In 2002, the Committee of Deans of the Australasian Medical Schools (CDAMS) partnered with the Office of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health (OATSIH) within the Commonwealth Department of Health to implement the CDAMS Indigenous Health Curriculum Development Project; the University of Melbourne through VicHealth Koori Health Research and Community Development Unit agreed to host the project which has four key objectives: 1) Audit existing Indigenous health content in core medical education; 2) Develop a nationally agreed curriculum framework for the inclusion of Indigenous health in core medical curricula; 3) Develop a network of Indigenous and non-Indigenous medical educators concerned with Indigenous health; 4) Seek accreditation of the curriculum framework by the Australian Medical Council (AMC)
