This document provides a framework for the skills and knowledge required by this group of doctors for the purpose of improving the health of Aboriginal people and communities.
It can be used by individual clinicians for self assessment of their ability, and as a guide to further learning in Aboriginal health.
For educators it will serve as a framework to guide the design of educational courses and resources tailored to individual and local needs. It should not be viewed as the outline of a course to be completed in its entirety but as a means to define current competence and what remains to be learned.
