Horizon Paper

The Horizon Paper explores areas of future collaboration and strategic focus of the 香港六合彩开奖 and its partners to shift the spotlight of medical education and 香港六合彩开奖 accreditation more firmly on achieving health workforce reform. As a starting point, this paper provides, as an illustrative example, one key area of workforce health reform; the need to build a digitally capable medical workforce.听听

It demonstrates that such change is best achieved through collaboration, alignment of goals, and approaches adopted from nationally and internationally evidence-based health reform policy to help shape the Australian medical education system.听
