Conference Themes
Clinical Supervision and Clinical Teaching
The conference will provide an opportunity to learn about new approaches to clinical supervision. Brush up on a skill such as giving feedback, or learn more about how individual clinics or units organize placements. You might like to demonstrate some clinical simulation or how you teach cultural safety to health professional students. Students can present their experiences of authentic learning activities.
Showcasing SA Rural Health Research and Researchers
South Australia boasts some impressive rural clinical research. Put your hat in the ring and submit an abstract letting others know about your current research. Let’s celebrate the work done to Close the Gap and to improve health outcomes for rural people. This is an opportunity for students and first time researchers to present.
Research Capacity Building Rural Health Professionals
We are all at different points on our clinical research journey. Do you know something now that you wish you had learnt earlier in your research career? Do you have a few tips to share with others? This session aims to send everyone home, just a little more savvy at supporting their students and junior staff with research projects, clinical audit and continuous quality improvement. Students and early career clinician researchers are invited to describe their research journey and what they look for in a supervisor.
SARHRE Conference includes presentations about cultural safety and Aboriginal health in each of these three themes.
