Medical Students will join leaders in Indigenous health to discuss and debate possible strategies to address the 17-year life expectancy gap between Indigenous and non-indigenous Australians. This coincides with the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) meeting in Darwin today, which will focus on developing a national plan to achieve real health outcomes for indigenous people. AMSA President Tiffany Fulde said, "the best way to improve the health status of Indigenous people is to empower them; this includes providing them with the ability to study university health degrees." Improving workforce capacity by increasing Indigenous medical student numbers should be a priority for any plan devised to tackle this issue.
