JCU Dentistry grad Nirjyot Gill is celebrating becoming a dentist after completing her studies in 2020. She’s now setting her sights on the new challenges of dentistry as she enters the next phase of her career to bring healthy smiles to northern Queensland. This is Nirjyot’s story.

Throughout my time studying medicine at JCU, I’ve tried to “master” the exam period and find the best and most efficient way to get through it.

Just over 20 years ago, JCU set out to establish a medical school in northern Queensland that would not only train students to become professional healthcare providers, but also to create a system of learning that would inspire generations of doctors to serve the areas that are most needed.

What is the JCU Orpheus Island Research Station? It’s like studying on a piece of island paradise, located about 125 km north of Townsville.
