The role of academic health centres in improving health equity: a multi-centre cross-country comparative study
Despite the increasing spread of academic health centres (AHCs) as new health system structures worldwide and substantial interest in their health equity role, little is known about the capacity of AHCs to contribute to health equity goals. This research aims improve the quality of the evidence base on the health equity role of AHCs by empirically examining how AHCs are addressing, or are positioned to address, unjust and unfair health disparities and their determinants. This research responds to a growing global focus on health equity as a key measure of health system performance.

Integrating safe circumcision for HIV prevention at male initiation ceremonies in Yangoru-Sausia, Papua New Guinea
Traditional male initiation ceremonies often involve foreskin cutting and other penile modification to signify transition from boy to man. In Papua New Guinea, the East Sepik Provincial HIV Response team is introducing medical male circumcision into initiation ceremonies in Yangoru-Sausia to avert adverse events and for HIV prevention. However, it is unclear what local people think about the involvement of health workers at sacred ceremonies. Likewise, the health standards and medium term impact of the modified ceremony are unknown. Clement's study will investigate the acceptability and feasibility of integrating medical male circumcision into traditional initiation ceremonies in Yangoru-Sausia, Papua New Guinea.

Teaching leadership skills to medical students: Are we transformative yet?
The project aims to evaluate the training, assessment and impact of undergraduate medical leadership curricula in Australia. The first step is a case study series across Australian medical schools to identify current and best practice medical leadership teaching and assessment frameworks, and factors and experiences that help create student and graduate leaders. The second step is the development of a medical leadership curriculum to be taught to year six 番茄社区 MBBS students. The intervention will be evaluated via a four year study to determine if and when graduates developed patient quality or health service improvement, and/or are identified by others as leaders.
