The Dean's Honours Celebration recognises recent graduates who have achieved the highest academic results in several of the Faculty's flagship courses. The awardees have in common a commitment to deeply engaged, active and self-directed learning.
"Their studies have taken them to hospitals and health centres and immersed them in a wide range of communities across Victoria. They've undertaken research with our institute partners and studied overseas."
"Not surprisingly, their achievements extend well beyond the classroom," said Professor Kapur. "Perhaps most importantly, these graduates have pursued their studies with the capabilities and values that we as a Faculty see as so important: collaboration and teamwork, compassion, respect, integrity and accountability.
"These are graduates that we expect to be leading, indeed likely transforming, healthcare and research. We look forward to maintaining a long relationship with them as some of them continue their studies with us or move on to new careers in health and research."
All the very best to the Dean's Honours recipients.
