Foundation launches learning guides for selected programs

October 28, 2007

The Rural Health Education Foundation has produced a series of learning guides for selected programs, designed to augment the Foundation’s materials and increase useability of the television programs in a variety of health and medical education and training settings.

Expansion into text-based learning materials

Launching the first of the learning guides, Foundation CEO Don Perlgut highlighted the fact they would provide activities and discussion triggers for health professionals developing their own education sessions around the programs.

“We see this expansion as a natural progression, establishing the Rural Health Education Foundation as a digital publisher of textual material in addition to its traditional role as a distributor of audio-visual content,” Mr Perlgut said.

Selected programs

The first group of programs with PDF learning guides available are:

  • 716 - Another Shade of Blue: Depression in Older Australians
  • 711 - Better Access to Mental Health Care
  • 702 - No One Size Fits All: Alcohol Treatment Guidelines for Indigenous Australians
  • 701 - Chlamydia: Combating the Epidemic
  • 616s - Dementia Series 2006
