- Abstract
Worldwide, indigenous communities experience diminished health status and poorer health outcomes in comparison to the dominant non-indigenous population. This novel survey demonstrates that both OHNS supervisors and trainees largely understand and acknowledge the importance of providing culturally appropriate health services for Maori but are less familiar with the importance of appraising personal and institutional attitudes towards culture. In conjunction with the New Zealand based surgical training committees, the Maori Health Advisory Group is developing a formalized cultural safety teaching and assessment programme to meet this need and which will form part of a broader RACS strategy to address Maori health equity.
