My MD Research Project looks into the use of video in surgical education. Specifically, we are trying to work out whether the teaching of suturing can be augmented by the development of targeted video education on the topic.

It has been a pleasure to work with Professor Justin Yeung, and the rest of the team here. Communication is fluid and the regular feedback I receive has been very useful to progress. More broadly, the Western Clinical School administrative staff have been fantastic in their assistance. You will always feel supported and connected at the Western, something I’ve really been fortunate to have for my two years in the hospital prior to this.

On top of that, the facilities and amenities are second-to-none. If you are aiming to undertake research at the Western Hospital, I believe you have made an excellent decision.
