PRIME Project of HSA PRIME Aust News Nov 2010

Through a memorandum of understanding with PRIME Partnerships in International Medical Education - UK www.prime-international.org.uk , we have established Prime Project of HSA, working closely with international partners.

PRIME promotes whole person medical education emphasising values, ethics and addressing cultural and spiritual aspects of doctor and patient.
We maintain a database of doctors and other health professionals willing to go on teaching trips to less developed countries.
We have an ongoing commitment to help with the periodic contact programmes of the Post Graduate Diploma in Family Medicine, run in various states of India by the Christian Medical College Vellore.
Other tutoring trips may be possible in future especially to Papua New Guinea

Would-be tutors need to provide CV, referees and attend the annual Prime Tutor Training weekend (held in June).

Enquiries can be directed to the coordinator Dr Owen Lewis prime@healthserve.org.au .
