In addition to the scholarships, bursaries and awards available through the Department of Health and Ageing, the University of Tasmania and the School of Medicine, a number of scholarships, bursaries and awards are available to students studying at the Rural Clinical School.
Some scholarships are provided as an incentive for medical students to undertake part of their training in rural areas. Others provide unique clinical experiences to RCS students.
Two RCS medical students will undertake electives in Vietnam at the end of 2009, funded by the Hoc Mai Australia Vietnam Medical Foundation and the RCS. The $5,000 bursaries will enable the Year 4/5 students to travel to Vietnam during their summer break to gain first-hand experience of emergency medicine in a developing country.
AHRHF have advised that these scholarships will not be available in 2010.
GPNW will again offer a $3,000 award to honour the memory of Dr Simon Monks and to acknowledge excellence in General Practice by a fourth/fifth year RCS medical student.
Dr Monks was a highly respected partner in the East Devonport Medical Centre and a GPNW Board member who was actively involved in teaching and mentoring RCS students prior to his sudden and unexpected death in 2007.
The Award is supported by Dr Monk’s family, and GPNW works with the RCS to select a recipient.
Closing Date: Monday, 26 October 2009
The Rotary Club of Wynyard has awarded this scholarship to a student commencing the final two years of clinical studies in the MBBS at the Rural Clinical School in 2007 and again in 2009. The scholarship aims to encourage and support a student with an interest in rural medicine to study at the RCS. The scholarship is offered over a two-year period, subject to the recipient's satisfactory performance, and will be valued at $2,500 per annum.
