Offering a clear education-focused academic career pathway, the Sydney Horizon Educators scheme recognises and supports talented university educators, providing access to a range of professional development opportunities, including educational fellowship accreditation through the internationally-recognised Advance HE, and grants to support educational innovation.

We want our future health professionals to be able to look after themselves while managing challenging situations. We want to start teaching them how to do that while they’re still in the classroom.
