The cultural immersion consisted of an opening ceremony and four stations of yarning, weaving, bush tucker, and artefacts\/medicines. A mixed\u2010methods approach was used, with triangulation of data from pre\u2010 and postsurveys, station mapping, and focus group interviews. Quantitative and qualitative data were simultaneously analysed from participating first\u2010year Master of Nutrition and Dietetics students and then drawn together for an integrated understanding of the impact of the cultural immersion on student learnings.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Fifty\u2010three students completed pre\u2010 and postsurveys and 36 participated in focus groups.
