Gippsland winners
Two Gippslanders have featured in the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences Prize list for 2012, which were presented in May.
Dr Denise Bullen, who studied at the Gippsland Regional Clinical School, won the South East Palliative Care Dr Ruth Redpath prize for years 1A to 5D, awarded to a student enrolled in the Central or Gippsland programs of the Monash MBBS who writes the best essay about an aspect of palliative care.
One of the two Year 3B Faculty Prizes was awarded to Lukas Sahhar, who is studying in the metro area but is originally from Warragul where his father Dr Cleo Sahhar runs a medical clinic.
There are some 50 prizes open each year to Monash MBBS students. The prizes reward students who excel in particular units, across their year level or in prize-specific exams or essays.
The award ceremony was held The Edge at Federation Square in Melbourne.
