As an academic coordinator I am responsible for the planning and delivery of the academic program for Year 3B at the school (Traralgon and Warragul cohort). This includes taking direct part in delivering a number of lectures and tutorials.
Why is it important?
Just like any other academic role, the academic coordinator job is about ensuring smooth delivery of program and contributing to solving any arising issues and help and support the students to ensure successful completion of the year, which represents a new challenge for the students being full time clinical work/ training.

Working in my big backyard with my three year old son chasing me and copying whatever I do.
What was your most recent holiday destination and why did you choose it?
Three days in Philip Island. Wife’s choice being our wedding anniversary.
If you were Emperor for a day, what is one thing you would implement?
I would order some of the best doctors to move to rural areas and work for few years before going back to their city life
