North-west medical partner opens expanded facilities
One of Monash’s important partners in the north-west medical program, the Brooke Street Medical Centre in Woodend, officially opened its expanded facilities in late February. The clinic hosts eight students each year who spend a full semester based in general practice.
Speaking at the opening, Director of the Bendigo Regional Clinical School and Head of the Northern Victoria Regional Medical Education Network, Professor Geoff Solarsh, acknowledged the clinic’s pioneering role in the GP super clinic program and the care taken to integrate medical students into the practice.
The Brooke Street Medical Centre draws together a range of practitioners who work together in the care of complex health conditions, so students placed with the clinic are immersed in a mult-disciplinary team.
Mr Rob Mitchell MP and Dr Richard Bills unveil the plaque at the official opening of the Brooke Street Medical Centre's expanded facilities. Dr Bills has been actively and passionately involved in medical training for many years.
