"Hiya! My name is Stacey and I’m studying Doctor of Medicine. This year I’m undertaking a Bachelor of Medical Science (Honours), which is an optional year-long research degree for medical students. My research project is based at Monash Children’s Hospital, looking at ways to reduce the need for breathing tubes in very premature infants. Whilst this machine may look big and scary, it actually does less damage to babies’ lungs than breathing tubes! " Stacey is one of our new social media ambassadors for semester 2.
