The annual GSM Emeritus Professor John Hogg Memorial Lecture and Prize Night. This year’s guest speaker was Dr Karen Murphy, Executive Director Medical Services and Clinical Governance ISLHD, who has a wealth of experience prior to and within medicine (including a BA in interior design and paramedicine). Dr Murphy spoke about sometimes taking the road less travelled and reminded our final year students to never stop dreaming.
We also re-introduced the student Excellence in Medical Education Awards. These awards provide an opportunity for students to recognise the doctors, nurses, allied health professionals and educators who have made a significant impact on their learning. Colleagues are nominated in various different categories, with a small panel reviewing the nominees and deciding upon a winner in collaboration with WUMSS. The list of winners are below. We would like to take the opportunity to congratulate the Educator of the Year 2024 - Dr Taleitha Atkins, a UOW MD graduate, GP and Academic in Shoalhaven and Southern Highlands hubs.
