First-year health students at Charles Sturt University’s Orange campus were invited to a special cultural yarning event designed to introduce them to some of the cultural and equity issues they will face as they embark upon their studies.
Organised by staff at Orange campus and members of the Orange Local Aboriginal Land Council, Winhangarra 2022 was held at the Girinyalanha yarning circle and encouraged both new and continuing students and staff to consider their responsibilities as health professionals, build aspirations and strengthen community relations.
More than 100 students from physiotherapy, medical sciences, dentistry and pharmacy courses attended the event to hear special presentations from guest speakers. The speaker list included Elder Aunty Alice of Orange Local Aboriginal Lands Council, First Nations Student Advisor Leanne Orcher, Indigenous Curriculum Coordinator Dr Vennassa Wong, and second-year rural medical student and Rural Health Positive’s First Nations Lead Cameron Martin.
