Testimonials
It was great, I really felt like part of the team. Most of the doctors were happy to let me parallel consult so I was running consultations with patients by myself. This really helped my confidence in my communication skills and clinical knowledge application skills. I was given many opportunities to work on my clinical skills as well. Overall a very lovely experience.
Myall medical clinic and Dalby are/were very friendly to the presence of a medical student. The healthcare staff and people in and around town were willing and eager to interact with us both as patient's and in the wider community. I was based in Toowoomba, and after finding things to do in Dalby, I only made one trip back down mid-rotation.
Had a wonderful time doing my catch up RRM at Myall Medical Practice. It was a pleasure learning from all the doctors there with their immense experience and intricate local knowledge.
