GIPPSLAND MEDICAL STUDENTS & GARDS CONNECT
GARDS members were invited to give a tutorial to Medical students at the newly opened Gippsland Medical School. The asbestos disease module for health, knowledge and society is a one semester unit that attempts to provide students with the skills to examine health and illness from a social perspective. This is done by taking a range of issues such as asbestos related disease in Latrobe Valley.
GARDS members were more than happy to be able to give the social, emotional, environmental and health issues perspective to the students. Secretary Vicki Hamilton said “It was wonderful to be able to meet and connect with the 60 students who were all very enthusiastic and contributed greatly to the success of the tutorial”. Vicki also went on to say “We believe they were left with a greater understanding of what asbestos sufferers, their family and the general community are dealing with. We would like to thank Monash University very much for the opportunity to do this and a special thank you to Ms. Sue Whyte.
We would also like to thank GARDS members Allan & Faye Walker for taking time out of their day to come and speak to the students”.
