Why choose the Monash Intern Training Program?

Five ways the Monash ITP gives you a head start in your pharmacy career.

Monash ITP student Eleanor discusses her experience in Alice Springs as part of her internship at the Alfred Hospital.

The Graduate Certificate offers a great opportunity to extend your learning in a range of areas without committing too much time or money. For me, completing the internship with Monash was a no-brainer - the history and reputation of the Faculty puts its graduates ahead of the pack. Alex Bongers (2011 Graduate)
