Graduate Research Topic

Title: Same sex attracted women and their relationship with GPs: identity, risk and disclosure.
Years: 2006 - 2010

What has happened in your career since you completed your GR?

I spent three years leading the NW node at Sunshine for the Department, teaching and doing more research. Then I resigned my position and became an Honorary Associate Professor. I still do a lot of LGBT health research with large teams of colleagues, teaching, supervising students and developing training modules. So, I use the skills I learned during this time a lot.

What was the best thing about your GR?

Being able to say “No” to everything else for three years and focus in depth on one thing.

What is one piece of advice you would give to current GR students?

You won’t look back! This will launch so much more for your career.
