Welcome from the Traditional Owners
The local Boandik people would like to extend a warm welcome to delegates and guests of the
Muster 2018 as they join us on our Boandik country Boandik Mraat for this exciting event.
This rich and fertile coastal country has been occupied for over 60,000 years by the Boandik
people who have continually cared for this country, enduring dry times, ice ages, wet floods, rising
sea level, intense volcanic periods, European invasion, massacres and disease. Stretching from
the Coorong in the North West, Bordertown and the Grampians Gariwerd in the East, this coastal
landscape was even larger during the ice age about 12,000 years ago when, as successful hunter
gatherers, the Boandik people were able to navigate and walk southwards to Tasmania and
return. Here in South Australia we refer to our First Nations Australians as ‘Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander peoples’ while in other parts of Australia the term ‘Indigenous’ is sometimes used.
Several local legends tell us of events that shaped that wilderness. These legends have been
retained and recorded and continue to be retold in our colourful storytelling to this day. Vast local
underground cave systems (Naracoorte Caves World Heritage), containing remains of extinct
megafauna and crystal clear cold waters, intrigue visitors and locals as they reflect on the ancient
wilderness which our people called home. The volcanic peak of Berrin and the Blue Lake War War
alongside are woven into our local Boandik legends, and we continue to celebrate our brimming
billabongs, trickling freshwater creeks, and salt lakes with amazing birdlife through stories, song,
and reflection. Although modern day farming, forestry and commercial fishing practices have
influenced many geographical changes to our landscape, we strongly believe that it is important to
acknowledge our past, show respect to previous ancient land use and celebrate the peaceful
spiritual connection that we can all share.
We continue to celebrate that spirit and connection to Country through caring
for the land and fostering strong friendships and family ties. We still follow
ancient land management practices which influence modern day decisions to
care for our Country Wulanda Boandik Mraat, and we are excited and proud
to be involved in the re-awakening of the sleeping Bunganditj language for
the benefit of a new generation.
We learn about hunting and survival, and we respect the strong emotional
connection with our country through our ongoing commitment to environmental management and
the sharing of our unique culture and stories. Our medicines, wild foods, traditional fishing, ancient
agriculture and healing yarns around smoky campfires all guide the modern day ‘Medicine-man’ to
better understand our new age survival.
So, in the local Bynganditj language, we say welcome Maartu Karu to all our guests on Boandik
land as you gather at The Muster 2018 to learn, empower, and enrich both our communities and
those on the many lands from which you have come. We hope you will take away a little of our
spirit and our passion for the land and community, as you seek to teach and train a new
generation of health and medical professionals to create a better future for all.

Muster Artwork
Keeping Our People Strong
Acrylic on Canvas, 2018
Artist: Belinda Bonney
Healing hands from Childhood to Adulthood. Circles represent our communities and the
people that live in the community to empower and uplift healthy minds and bodies. Flight of the
boomerang - the boomerang represents journey and travel and how we always return to
country to better our people and communities. Wavy lines represent a ripple effect and the
smaller dots are surrounding communities.
This stunning artwork is featured throughout The Muster 2018 program, and will be on display
throughout The Muster conference in the Main Corner Complex – City Hall Reception.
Artist – Belinda Bonney
Belinda Bonney was born in the Sydney suburb of Blacktown. She is a Muruwari-
Guwamu-Kooma-Ngarrindjeri Women who has lived most of her life in Mt Gambier;
however, her spiritual and cultural ties lead her to the lands of her Ancestors the
Muruwari and Meintangk, belonging to the Ngarrindjeri Nation. Her fraternal
grandmother guided and taught her the Aboriginal cultural traditions which were
passed down in traditional ways; traditions and lessons which instil Belinda with
great pride.
Belinda is a contemporary Aboriginal artist, and in her spare time she loves to paint, do art, make
jewellery and just be creative. ‘One day I just picked up a paint brush and started painting and realised
I had a talent for painting and design’, she recounts. She believes she inherited this spiritual element of
painting from her Mother’s side, as all of her Uncles and Aunties also paint.
Belinda is a mother of six beautiful children - three girls and three boys. She is currently enriching her
children with the culture, art and traditions that were passed on to her. The result? They all love to pick
up a paint brush and paint, just like mum!

volcanic crater filled with pure water, so
named due to the vivid blue colour of the
water during the summer months. The
Blue Lake’s shoreline is approximately
3.5km, and a pleasant walk around the
lake rim is a favourite pastime of locals and
visitors alike.

another 7,000 people from the surrounding
towns and districts, Mount Gambier enjoys
a temperate climate and is positioned
between 40-75 metres above sea level.
The annual rainfall is between 450mm-
820mm per year.
Due to its central location between
Melbourne and Adelaide, it is the centre for
a thriving transport industry. Its largest
industry is timber, with the region
supported by multiple milling operations.
Dairy, Beef, Lamb and Wool are important
exports. Limestone is quarried locally, and
nearby Port MacDonnell is home to a large
rock lobster fishing fleet.

immersion provides plenty of opportunity for you to engage with and experience the local community.
This year The Muster strives to explore how community engaged medical education can empower
communities to improve their health and patient care through the themes of People and
Communities, Longitudinal and Integrated Training, Culture and Wellbeing and Rural Workforce.
The program offers a wide variety of educational formats including posters, PeArLs, workshops,
podium presentations and plenaries. For those fortunate enough to experience Conference on the
Move in Kangaroo Island or Broken Hill we look forward to hearing their tales of what is set to be a
fabulous experience.
Thank you to all those who have provided their support along the way toward the conference. We
thank our sponsors whose contributions to our cause are invaluable. Sincere thanks to all who

Message from Flinders University
My recent arrival to Flinders has been a wonderful voyage of
discovery of great people doing great things. Our impact on the
health and well-being of people living in rural and remote
communities, as evidenced by The Muster, is one such
powerful example. Like almost everything in Medicine and
Health, that impact derives from strong local partnerships with
communities, research and educational collaborations across
the host institution, and international networks who share
similar values and a common vision.
In partnership with the Northern Ontario School of Medicine, I
am delighted to welcome you to Muster 2018 which
encapsulates such a vision. The College’s 5-year plan can be
summarized with the words people, culture, excellence and
social vision. These concepts are also at the heart of a decade
of these biennial conferences held in Australia and Canada. My
congratulations to the Consortium of Longitudinal Integrated
Clerkships and the Training for Health Equity Network for 10-
years of fabulous work and impact. I also want to acknowledge
the critical leadership of Michael Kidd and Paul Worley in the
international impact of Flinders University in rural and remote
health.
I trust you find that Australia is indeed a rich and wonderful
place to visit, and where better to enjoy the real Australia but
out bush in regional South Australia? My thanks to the local
team for being fabulous hosts and organisers. I hope that we
would all leave The Muster 2018 more informed, better
networked, and filled with ideas, hope and ambition to increase
our impact on the health and well-being of people in rural and
remote regions worldwide.

Message from the Northern Ontario School of
Medicine
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the sixth
international conference jointly hosted by Flinders University
and the Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM). Muster
2018 in Mount Gambier is the continuation of a decade of
exceptional biennial conferences—held in Australia and
Canada—which highlight Indigenous and Francophone health,
social accountability, and community engagement in health
professional education and research.
I would like to acknowledge all partners and sponsors who have
contributed to the success of The Muster over the past 10 years
and in particular, the contributions of the Consortium of
Longitudinal Integrated Clerkships (CLIC) and the Training for
Health Equity Network (THEnet) which are each celebrating
their 10th anniversary. Together we are uniting like-minded
health professionals, educators, researchers, and students from
around the globe who have a shared sense of commitment to
improving health outcomes in our respective parts of the world.
Thank you for being involved in socially accountable research
and education that responds to these unique health needs.
If you participated in the pre-conference session, Conference
on the Move, I sincerely hope you enjoyed visiting other areas
of Australia. Over the next few days, I look forward to our
conversations as we dig deeper into how distributed
community-engaged learning and research benefits
communities in rural and remote areas and beyond.
I extend an extra special thanks to all those that have supported
this conference, and who have dedicated countless hours to
ensure that each of us enjoys an exceptional Muster 2018
conference. Thank you for taking time away from the important
work that you do to join us in Australia for Muster 2018. I look
forward to speaking with you over the coming days.

A Message from THEnet
We are delighted to welcome you to The 2018 Global Community
Engaged Medical Education Muster Conference (The Muster) in
Mount Gambier in South Australia.
We are especially excited to have the opportunity to celebrate The
Training for Health Equity Network: THEnet’s 10th anniversary at
The Muster with colleagues who share our commitment to making
health and access to quality care a fundamental human right.
THEnet started as an idea for a research project on how schools
Bjorg Palsdottir of medicine and health sciences could better address health
inequities. We had heard of a few innovative community-engaged
schools around the world committed to reducing the glaring health
disparities in the regions they served and wanted to learn more
about their approaches and impact. The journey of THEnet truly
began in December 2008 when we brought leaders of eight
schools on four continents together in Havana, Cuba. These
schools were translating the principles of social accountability into
action. Discovering their common mission, strategies and
challenges they decided to create a community of practice to
strengthen the evidence base for socially accountable health
professional education and assess its impact. In the last decade
THEnet partners and other organizations and colleagues such as
André-Jacques Neusy Muster participants, can take pride in having helped embed the
concepts and principles of social accountability and community-
engaged health professional education into global policy
recommendations and spur reforms at regional and global levels.
The over-arching theme of the 2018 Muster — Empowering
Communities | Expanding Futures — remains at the core of
THEnet’s vision. Building and sustaining authentic relationships
and dialogue with communities and other partners is essential if
we are to realize the goals of health equity while simultaneously
addressing the challenges that competing priorities, technology
and resource constraints bring. We look forward to continuing the
journey together, learning from you and sharing experiences
during The Muster.

The Consortium for Longitudinal Integrated Clerkships (CLIC) is a
group of faculties from medical schools around the world who have or are
considering developing, implementing, and studying the longitudinal
integrated clerkship model to address core clinical training for
undergraduate medical education. Longitudinal integrated clerkships have the following common
core elements:
• Medical students participate in the comprehensive care of patients over time.
• Medical students have continuing learning relationships with these patients’ clinicians.
• Medical students meet, through these experiences, the majority of the year’s core clinical
competencies across multiple disciplines simultaneously.
The Federation of Rural Australian Medical Educators (FRAME) was
established in 2003 to advance the causes common to medical student
training in rural and remote Australia. It is the peak body representing the
Rural Clinical Schools (RCS) and Regional Medical Schools (RMS)
funded (in whole or in part) through the Australian Government
Department of Health and Ageing’s Rural Clinical Training and Support Program (RCTS).
The medical and dental programs at James Cook University (JCU),
North Queensland, have a distinctive regional mission with a focus on the
needs of rural, remote, and underserved communities, tropical medicine,
and the health of Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islanders. The
School aims to lead positive change in health and medical care for
communities of tropical Australia and beyond through socially accountable health education,
discoveries, partnerships, and advocacy that make a difference. Underpinning our work is a
shared commitment to social justice, a passion for innovation, and a commitment to excellence.
The University of Wollongong School of Medicine is committed to
producing excellent graduates who are committed improving the health of
individuals, communities and populations. We provide educational
experiences that are engaging, challenging and relevant for our students.
We focus on producing graduates who can work in a diversity of settings
including rural and regional Australian, as well as internationally. Our high
standards of academic rigour, breadth of knowledge across the health spectrum and a supportive
community, ensure that our graduates are career-ready and have the skills to tackle the most
challenging issues in health for the benefit of the local, national and global communities.

18Let’s Get Social
Maximise your conference experience and get the most out of The Muster 2018:
Introduce yourself by name
Introduce yourself by name to everyone—even to people you have met before, or who you think should
know you. The biggest opportunity you have at a conference is to network. People may choose not to
greet you or connect with you because they are embarrassed they have forgotten your name. And
remember to always wear your delegate ID!
Exchange contact information
One of the particular values of attending a conference in person is the
opportunity to meet other like-minded people. Don’t pass up the
opportunity to take advantage of the large number of educators and
professionals attending The Muster 2018. Hand out business cards
with your contact information and return home with invaluable contacts
and an expanded professional network.
Check out the exhibits
The organisations exhibiting at Muster 2018 chose to be present at this conference because they know
that the information and services they offer are of interest to those attending. Make sure to build time
into your schedules to visit them - you may learn something valuable and it is a great way to make
connections. You can find the exhibitors in the Foyer of the Sir Robert Helpmann Theatre – see their
details on page 13 of this program.
Take care of you!
Be sure to include some quiet time into your days to refresh your energy levels. Mix up your
experiences by attending a variety of presentation formats, so you do not become fatigued by
repetition of structure. Wind down your busy days by enjoying dinner or some social time with your
fellow delegates, and always remember to stay hydrated by filling your water bottle at the water
stations in each venue. Check out page 38-39 of this program for wellness activities throughout The
Muster.

20Conference on the Move
Kangaroo Island
Broken HillConference on the Move – Broken Hill
Broken Hill, Lake Mungo, Mount Gambier
12 – 15 October 2018
Conference on the Move Broken Hill will
provide participants with a unique
opportunity to visit this historic frontier
mining town in the far west of New South
Wales - the gateway to the Australian
outback.
Also referred to as the Silver City, Broken Hill
has a rich cultural, mining and art history with
numerous attractions and points of interest.
The ore body that was discovered here in 1883
was one of the world’s richest deposits of silver,
zinc and lead, and Broken Hill was the birthplace
of the mining giant Broken Hill Proprietary
Limited – BHP (now BHP Billiton). Although the
part of the lode that was originally above ground
has been completely mined away, underground
mining activities continue to this day.
The region was first settled by the Wilijakali people, once thought to have only intermittently
lived in the area because of the lack of permanent water sources. However, it has since been
found that the Aboriginal clans of the area were able to survive on underground water holes
and wells that were unknown to the European settlers. Many of these waterholes are still kept
secret from non-Aboriginal people.
This unique and engaging experience will take you to the boundaries of rural and regional
health care and show the true diversity and amazing pioneer spirit of Australia’s rural health
and medical professionals.
Itinerary
Arriving in Broken Hill on Thursday, 11 October, you will spend the following two full days in
Broken Hill and surrounds, and then a further two days on a road trip to Mount Gambier via

presentation and level of clinical reasoning ability.
The workshop will:
a) provide participants with a little-utilised tool to identify students who may be struggling with their
clinical reasoning abilities, and
b) give them a method to build competence and confidence in clinical reasoning in these students.
It will be open to participants from all health disciplines as well as those at all levels of training and

26‘Muster’ is a term primarily used in Australia
to refer to the round-up of livestock.
However, it can also refer to the calling
forth of people to a gathering.
‘The Muster’ 2018 brings together
internationally recognised leaders in
community-engaged medical education and
will stimulate important discussions about
key concepts and practices at the forefront
of medical education.The Muster 2018 - Overview
The overall goal of Muster 2018 is to convene health professionals, educators, students, and
researchers from all parts of the world to share experiences, opportunities, and the challenges
of community participation in medical education. Through a variety of forums during the
conference, participants will be involved in engaging and thought-provoking discussions and
collaborative learning related to their perspectives of, insights in, and innovative strategies for
community participation in education, research, and service.
Muster 2018 will raise awareness of the diverse global interests of members of the community,
promote greater participation in international dialogue and exchange and, in turn, strengthen
awareness of community-engaged medical education both nationally and internationally.
Learning Objectives
By the end of the conference, participants will:
• Understand the challenges and benefits of community-engaged medical education.
• Develop strategies for implementation of community-engaged medical education.
• Have the opportunity to engage in the community-engaged medical education research
agenda across the globe as part of a worldwide network.
• Acquire knowledge and skills in teaching and clinical domains.
The Muster 2018 conference sessions fall within four distinct abstract themes. These themes,
listed on the following page, have been designed to encourage thought-provoking discussions
and inquiry related to the conference theme of community participation in education, research,
and service. Engaging others in dialogue and conversation facilitates the process of research
and scholarship combined with learning together.
