MD2025 Curriculum Review Background and context Overview of MD2025 Discussion GM

Why are we reviewing our Curriculum? Patient and population needs – chronic conditions and co-morbidity, ageing population, health inequities Models of care are changing – shift towards prevention, team-based care, digital healthcare, primary care Increasing use of technology – doctors of the future will need a new range of additional skills Address feedback from students, graduates and supervisors – opportunities for further improvements to our program GM

Out to 2050, the population > 60 years will grow to over 2 Billion GM GIF – view in presentation mode

Chronic Conditions and Comorbidity 23% of Australians report two or more chronic conditions Risk increases with: Age Lower socioeconomic status Geographical remoteness GM

Changing models of care and workforce needs Increasing focus on prevention, team- based care and other forms of community- based practice Interface between health and social care Role of technology – digital medicine Role and number of doctors Balance of medical generalists and specialists Geographic spread GM Source: AAFP (www.aafp.org)

Opportunities for improvement Student diversity Student intake that is more representative of the populations we serve (gender, socio- economic status, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples) Student experience Satisfaction, consistency of organisation, progression and professionalism Employability (short-term) Intern preparedness; geographic distribution of graduates; residency match Employability (long-term) Geographic distribution (metro v. regional); generalist v. specialist pathways; lifelong learning; adaptability
