Established in 2019, the Foundational Emergency Medicine Training Program Scholarship for Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and Māori medical practitioners aims to increase the number of Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and Māori medical practitioners completing the FEMTP in Australia and New Zealand. Applications are open to FEMTP trainees who meet the eligibility criteria.
“There is an under representation of Māori Doctors in the field of Emergency Medicine, and scholarships like the Foundational Emergency Medicine Training Program Scholarship enable young Māori Doctors to have greater exposure, training, and supervision in emergency medicine at an early stage in their career.
I am very grateful for this scholarship and the opportunities it has afforded to me as an upcoming FACEM trainee. I am hopeful that this scholarship will continue to be available for young Māori, Aboriginal, and Torres Strait Islander Doctors as I know we are all aware of challenges in Indigenous health that we are in position to address in the Emergency Department as healthcare professionals.”
