WONCA is an acronym for World Organization of National Colleges, Academies and Academic Associations of General Practitioners/Family Physicians.  A shorter version is ‘World Organization of Family Doctors’.

Dr Jan Cole, Monash graduate, is featured as WONCA’s family doctor for August.  Jan is an associate professor and academic family physician at Monash University in Melbourne and has been a family doctor for more than 25 years.

Jan is only the second Australian GP to be honoured in this way.  The previous Australian was another Monash Graduate, Professor John Murtagh.
