I enjoyed the student-oriented learning experience at Monash where our feedback was often taken seriously . While there are some limitations , I think it is a unique experience to have an Australian medical education , alongside its values , in the Malaysia healthcare training ground .
My goal is to be able to give back to the community ; to quote Sir John Monash , seek to adopt as my fundamental creed to ‘ equip ( myself ) for life , not solely for ( my ) own benefit , but for the benefit of the whole community .’”
