I really appreciated the program’s practical approach and strong focus on mentoring. The combination of theory and hands-on role-play made the learning engaging and immediately applicable. I also liked how it addressed stigma and human rights alongside clinical skills, which is essential for delivering holistic and culturally sensitive care.

I appreciated how the program fosters strong relationships between Australian and PNG clinicians, creating a supportive network that strengthens HIV and sexual health services long-term. Overall, the program’s practical approach, cultural relevance, and commitment to improving patient outcomes make it highly valuable for both healthcare workers and the communities they serve.

I liked that this program provided a structured way to plan and design a real public health project. It helped me understand how to set goals, identify stakeholders and create a timeline. I also enjoyed learning how ASHM works in international settings like PNG and how important mentorship is for health workers.
