Why is it important?
Both roles are important to the students. It is essential we maximise their learning capacity within all the teaching facilities, so ensuring their schedules are accurate and fulfilling is the challenging task!

Assisting our students through their journey of becoming health professionals and seeing them return as registered medical practitioners ready to serve the community is the best!

Spending time with my family and friends, book club, kids sport, ceramics, watching movies and dancing.
