I’ve always enjoyed outreach! but if I were to try something new maybe Editorials? It’s really out of my comfort zone but it would be exciting to come up with new ideas for engaging our members through social media. That being said all portfolios are really meaningful, hard to pick one!

Paediatrics

If you could join another portfolio in SMSANZ, what would it be and why?

Medversations. I have enjoyed every SMSANZ networking cocktail night. Ultimately, having the opportunity to understand the Singapore Healthcare system better allows international students like myself to be better informed when choosing to work in Australia or Singapore and seek the guidance of those who have come before us.
