East Gippsland publications

Staff based in East Gippsland are involved in numerous collaborations and research projects. Two papers from collaborative projects have been published this year.

A collaboration between Monash and Flinders University researchers examined general practice registrar perceptions on training medical students. The results were published in the January/February 2014 issue of Australian Family Physician by Dr Anne Kleinitz (Lecturer in General Practice, Flinders University, Northern Territory Clinical School, Darwin), Associate Professor David Campbell (Director School of Rural Health – East & South Gippsland), and Associate Professor Lucie Walters (Flinders University).

Eleanor Mitchell and Angelo D’Amore have been working on a broad range of collaborative research. “Health knowledge and iodine intake in pregnancy” was recently published online in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. “Feeling Supported and Abandoned: Mixed Messages from Attendance at a Rural Community Cardiac Rehabilitation Program in Australia” was recently published in the Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation and Prevention.

In the previous 12 months, East Gippsland staff were also hard at work.
