Former OzTREKK student named Junior Doctor of the Year

Meet Dan, a former OzTREKK student originally from Vancouver. He decided to move to Australia to pursue his dream of becoming a doctor.

After graduating from UQ’s Doctor of Medicine program, he undertook his Internship at Rockhampton Hospital in Central Queensland where he was named the 2022 Junior Doctor of the Year. He is now an Orthopaedic Senior House Officer at Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

Clinical Placements in the UQ MD Program
As a UQ medical student, you will undertake 10 core clinical placements in varied disciplines while also learning to work in and collaborate with clinical teams.

Opportunities are embedded in the program for you to undertake international placements or elsewhere in Australia. These include the Observership at the end of Year 1, the Elective during Year 4, and for international students, the Rural and Remote Medicine placement that can be undertaken at a rural location in Canada. OzTREKK students have participated in clinical placements in Canada, USA, India, Papua New Guinea, and nearly everywhere in between!

Here’s what Dan had to say about staying in Australia after graduating from medical school, and what to expect in your first and second years as an intern!
