Yagila Wadamba Program - Learn to Heal
The RACGP is committed to strengthening the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander GP workforce and improving health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
To support this, the RACGP Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health team created the Yagila Wadamba Program – meaning learn to heal in Woi Wurrung language. This two-day, biannual program empowers and connects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander GP registrars as they grow, lead and thrive in their careers.
