On Tuesday 27th May the My Medical Career team enlightened the minds of Monash University undergraduate students to the huge range of career opportunities available to them. Amongst other speakers (an intern, a rural GP and an infectious diseases consultant) Dr Cosmin Florescu shared his experiences to a room of mainly first and second year students. He recounted his steep learning curve as an intern, sleepless night shifts as a resident (with illustrative supporting photographic evidence), and many hours studying for exams as a registrar. Cosmin also emphasised the importance of a balanced lifestyle and encouraged students to take up a hobby. He advised students to explore their options via the website as it is never too early to think of future career paths.
The speech was followed by finger food and drinks . The Monash University Medical Undergraduates' Society was supportive of the site's objectives and was open to future involvement with MMC- though me! Overall a success and we anticipate many more similar events in the future.
Grace, it sounds like a fantastic night.
Wish I was there.
