The purpose of this curriculum framework is to provide medical schools with a set of guidelines for
success in developing and delivering Indigenous health content in core medical education.
It is recognised that teaching Indigenous health in medicine is an emerging field and, as such,
medical schools are at differing stages of curriculum development. This document seeks to
enunciate the basic components of a functional curriculum for delivering Indigenous health
effectively.
