Back pain is the world’s leading cause of disability, affecting half a billion people worldwide. While there are a variety of treatments available, effective therapies are limited. The use of antidepressants to treat back pain is rapidly increasing, with high doses prescribed for depression and lower doses for chronic pain.

Five years ago Georgina Whish-Wilson moved from her home state of Tasmania to Victoria to study physiotherapy here at Monash. Yesterday she graduated with Advanced Honours and will soon be joining the Monash Health team as a graduate physiotherapist. 🎓 "I'm so grateful for all the opportunities provided to me during my time here, and by immersing myself totally within Monash (through studying, volunteering, working and living on campus) I really got the most out of my University experience. 🎓 Completing my Advanced Honours thesis throughout my final year of study is one achievement I'm very proud of. It was a lot of work, but the mentorship I was provided and the skills and experience I gained along the way, combined with the final result, were well worth it. It was an experience that has opened a lot of doors for me, and I'm excited to have recently been accepted to present my findings at a Victorian research conference in 2019." 📷 @monashphotographyclub

Hats off to Jason Ha, who juggled 3 degrees during the last 6 years across 2 faculties at Monash. 🎓 "I’m thrilled to be working as a junior doctor at Alfred Health next year, and if it’s anything like the experience I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying over the last few years doing clinical placements, it’ll be an incredible journey ahead! 🎓 The year I spent as a BMedSc Honours student also gave me the inspiration to make medical research an integral part of my career, and I can’t wait to be able to combine the both clinical medicine and a passion for discovery in the work I pursue in the coming years." 📷 @monashphotographyclub

Congratulations to all of our students who graduated in today's ceremonies. We're excited to share some of our graduates' stories, starting with Pedram Rajabifard, 2018 president of the Monash Uni Medical Students' Society: 🎓 "I'm most humbled by being elected as the first postgraduate President of the Monash University Medical Students' Society. Through this role I've been able to advocate for student views and work with the Faculty of MNHS to forge changes in our degree. Additionally I've been able to provide a student voice among the many Faculty committees. 🎓 I'm excited to begin my journey as a doctor at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. I had a clinical interest in obstetrics as a medical student and it'll be interesting to see if this interest remains when I am practicing as a doctor!" 📷 @monashphotographyclub

Social media ambassador Brian reflects on his second year as a physio student: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Physiotherapy at Monash in 2018 was an absolute blast - but I'm already looking ahead. I want to see where admin roles in healthcare and sporting clubs can take me in 2019; this time next year, I'll be sparing no effort to undertake assistant roles in the public health sector - possibly even rural!" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thanks for giving us a taste of what it's like to study physio @briankimcheck!
