Geraldton-based UDRH learns from MUDRIH
The Deputy Director of the WA Centre for Rural Health, Maeva Hall, visited MUDRIH in March on a whirlwind tour.
Maeva Hall is an occupational therapist with a background in rural based public and private health services. She is interested in the opportunities provided by non-traditional models of clinical placement in rural settings and the use of simulation in health services education.
Her tour began with student supervised clinical at Latrobe Community Health Services, followed by a meeting of Gippsland Health Simulation which she attended as a guest, and observation of a Ramahyuck Indigenous Cultural Safety session. Later, Maeva sat with MUDRIH staff who shared information on their programs and experiences, and discussed future ideas.
Latrobe Regional Hospital hosted Maeve’s final day in Gippsland in their simulation centre where programs and simulation options were discussed.
The WA Centre for Rural Health operates with support from the University of Western Australia and works closely with numerous health organisations on a local and national level.
