Here at the Otago Medical School we are an integral part of the University of Otago's "big picture" of promoting good Pacific community health by supporting the Pacific health workforce and research capacity.
Across the University, our Pacific and non-Pacific champions are working together to achieve these goals and support our Pacific community aspirations.
The Office for Pacific Development
Here at the Pacific Development Office we monitor and support the 'big picture' Pacific aspirations at our University village. These are described in our Pacific Strategic Framework. This framework is endorsed at the highest levels of the University of Otago and outlines our aspirations for leadership, academic excellence, research, external engagement and operational success through to 2030.
