Te Kupenga Hauora Māori (TKHM) is located in the School of Population Health, Tamaki Campus.
TKHM coordinates teaching
in Māori health across the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences and externally,
spanning foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate education.
There is also a focus on building capacity and developing appropriate teaching practices
in Māori health throughout the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences.
Key learning outcomes
Learning outcomes in Māori health vary depending on the level and type of course,
but in general we aim for graduates to have:
- an understanding of health (appropriate for level and course) and the forces
that shape it
- an understanding of the role various health professionals
can play in the Māori health department
- a critical understanding of
health inequities between Māori and non-Māori and the determinants of these
disparities
- skills to enable health professionals to monitor personal
and institutional contributions to Māori health outcomes
- a commitment to lifelong learning in Māori and indigenous health.
Mission statements
Our mission statements
are:
- to ensure the best possible standards of health for Māori and Pacific people,
particularly through teaching, research, advocacy and work-force development
- to produce graduates who are able to provide quality care equally well for all
- to establish and produce results from research which are relevant to the needs of
Māori and Pacific communities and therefore to the nation
- to encourage the establishment of a group of people with health promotional, epidemiological
and management skills in Māori and
Pacific communities
- to assist in the facilitation of community health projects.

Te Ara - (Graduate Profile in Hauora Māori for undergraduate programmes)
Te Ara articulates the expected graduate learning outcomes in Hauora Māori (Māori
health) for FMHS undergraduate programmes. Te Ara can be translated literally as
the path, track or course. It symbolises a process of identifying a common goal
and mapping a course to reach that destination. We have identified the key
attributes that we believe all health professionals should have with respect to
Māori health; the task ahead is to guide students and staff towards
achieving these outcomes. Rather than a fixed path that we intend everyone to
follow, Te Ara represents a flexible course where the journey may be very
different for each person taking it.
Te Ara will:
- promote alignment and
consistency within the teaching, learning and assessment currently taking place
- allow undergraduate programmes to share best practice and work together on
future developments and their evaluation
- prioritise future developments and
work streams to strengthen the student learning of Hauora Māori
- enable the
faculty to provide leadership through having a shared understanding of Hauora
Māori.
