Date published: 2009-10-29 16:40:53
Agricultural workers, their families and communities experience higher rates of traumatic injury, some diseases and suicide in addition to poorer treatment outcomes than their city counterparts. These diverse health issues are not always covered by traditional health, nursing, agricultural and medicine courses.
The National Centre for Farmer Health is providing a unique multidisciplinary training opportunity to address this knowledge gap. The Agricultural Health and Medicine course (HMF701) is for anyone with an interest in farmer health – from nurses, general practitioners and allied health professionals to veterinarians, rural professionals, and policy makers. It can also be used as an elective for Masters students.
HMF701 is a 5 day intensive program which will run from 22 to 26 February 2010 in Hamilton, Western Victoria through the Deakin University School of Medicine. Successful completion entitles students to credit towards a postgraduate qualification at Deakin or continuing education and professional development points for nurses, veterinarians and general practitioners.
A number of scholarships are available to attend.
