CRANAplus Mirii (Star) – a Course for Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioners/Workers in Darwin
If you are an Aboriginal Health Worker or Practitioner looking to upskill in the use of local clinical care manuals and guidelines to respond to common patient presentations, then Mirii is for you.
