Students swat up on paediatrics
Students from the South Gippsland cluster attended a talk on paediatric infectious diseases.
Students from the South Gippsland cluster attended a talk on paediatric infectious diseases last month.
The presentation by Associate Professor Andrew Steer was the first in a series of extra activities over the weekend. Held at Sandy Point on the coast, it aimed to bring students together for the final time in preparation for the exams.
This was followed by an inspirational talk by Dr Tony Holmes on his work in paediatric plastic surgery. He outlined techniques involved working with children born with various facial abnormalities. An “amazing meal”, prepared by Narelle Iser, completed the session.
These evenings involving great speakers have been a regular feature of the South Gippsland program and plans are already underway to continue this next year. The students then attended the women’s health workshop at Foster the following day. It is envisaged this will also be expanded next year to involve local GP obstetricians.
