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.’”
