Prosple Australia/GradAustralia Profiles

Ryman’s programme was also the most appealing because I could see different ways where I could utilise all areas of my study, which was hugely appealing.

I love seeing a novel idea turn from science-fiction into reality. There are very intelligent researchers working tirelessly on concepts that may or may not be successful, and it’s such a privilege to bring their work to clinicians where it can change the lives of patients.

I get great joy in being able to assist a person on their journey to healing and support them in their most vulnerable time. I have been working as a new graduate for the last 5 months in West Ward at Westmead Private Hospital.

I love the opportunities that we have been given. I feel like the grads aren’t just a tick of the box kind of thing and we’re actually really valued.

I’ve never worked anywhere that values connection and teamwork so highly... There’s such a great support network here, both clinically and personally.

Keep your support system close to you. You will need them. It can be draining taking care of other people and it will take a lot out of you. Having a good support system, whether it’s colleagues, family or friends, really matters.
