18.01.2022 Year 10, 11 & 12 students from Sale, Maffra, Orbost and Bairnsdale Walked in the shoes of a Medical Student this morning at Monash Rural Health, Bairnsdale. Students sat in on a tute about how to treat Snake bites, had morning tea with the Med Students and Tutors and then split into groups and participated in 5 clinical skills stations. These stations consisted of examining a new born, a cardiovascular activity, basic life support, airway management and dealing with the ...SimMan going into a minor asthmatic fit. The feedback from the students was overwhelmingly positive and the GSMN would like to extend its gratitude to Monash Rural Health, Bairnsdale, the Medical Students and Interns for not only hosting a well run program but providing such a valuable opportunity exposing some of our Gippsland Secondary School students to a medical environment.
