Education and employment conference
The range of health and education programs and courses delivered in Mildura was explored at the North West Health Education & Employment Conference on 29 April.
The School of Rural Health Mildura helped sponsor the conference which looked at the health programs and courses delivered by local universities, TAFEs and registered training organisations in Mildura.
The conference focused on skills shortages, highlighting employment opportunities that exist locally for graduates.
School of Rural Health Mildura’s former director, Dr John Russell, was guest speaker and admissions processes were outlined by Jenny Phillips from the Monash MBBS Admissions Office.
Local students, Emma Sanderson and Ellen O’Connor, were part of a student Q&A panel, giving an overview of their life as a rural student and their pathway into medicine.
A mini expo was held over lunch with workshops and plenary sessions.
