Tihei Mauriora!
I was 10 years old when I decided I wanted to become a Māori doctor. Since then, I've specialised in Public Health Medicine and had an extensive academic career as an Associate Professor teaching, researching and advocating for Māori health. I'm now ready to share my knowledge with as many people as possible. I'm very excited to present my first online course that aims to provide health workers with the basics.
Join with me as I help you learn the importance of being culturally-safe, Treaty compliant, pro-Equity and antiracist!
