Doctor What? Doctor Where? podcast looks at Scholarly Intensive Placements at Monash Rural Health

The twenty-fourth episode of the Doctor What? Doctor Where? Stories of Rural Medicine podcast - Scholarly Intensive Placements at Monash Rural Health - is now available.

As part of their studies at Monash Rural Health, all medical students complete a six-week Scholarly Intensive Placement during their final year.

These placements allow you to focus on a particular medical or professional practice issue in-depth, by taking part in scholarly activities, such as analysing relevant literature, collecting data, reviewing policies, or developing new resources.

Thanks for listening! If you're PGY2 and above, reach out to Monash Rural Health because we're always looking for topics, ideas and supervisors. And if you're a Monash Alumni, it's a great opportunity to get involved in our teaching programs. You can get in touch by emailing rural.health@monash.edu

  • Dr Rachel Sultana - Victorian Rural Generalist Program Gippsland Intern
  • Dr Jess Paynter - SIP Supervisor at Monash Rural Health and General Surgical Registrar at Bendigo Health
