Second year med student and social media ambassador Cheyenne has just finished up a placement in rural WA. She's shared some final thoughts for 2018: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “That’s a wrap for my Preclinical years in medicine. It’s been an absolute blast and I am very grateful for all of the opportunities I’ve had in 2018! I’ve just finished up with my John Flynn Placement in Kununoppin, Western Australia and I’m really excited to be starting in the hospital next year to further increase my clinical skills.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thanks for giving us a taste of what it's like to study preclinical medicine @it_never_rains_on_chey
