Australia’s Toxic Medical Culture

  • 353 Accesses

Abstract

Chapter 8 concludes with a recapitulation of themes and concepts instrumental in the positioning of IMGs. Ongoing power struggles and the weaknesses within the medical profession suggest that medicine is imploding due to its own power failure. As medicine moves into a rapidly expanding world of new technologies, recommendations are offered for cultural change. There are many medical professionals who do not condone the behaviours associated with a toxic culture. The long road of change management embraces more inclusive processes which invite new ways to break down old ways. Australia deserves a healthy medical culture and healthy medical professionals.
