Education and training
St John of God Health Care is committed to
interacting with universities and providing training to under and
postgraduate students.
St John of God Hospital Ballarat is set to
enter a new era with the appointment of Dr Andrew Dean as Associate
Professor of Australia's Notre Dame University's Rural Clinical
School.
Associate Professor Dean, who is our Director
of Emergency Medicine, will head up the
university's Rural
Clinical School which will be based at St John of God
Hospital Ballarat.
The first intake will arrive in 2011 when a
total of 32 students, eight per term, will join the medical
team.
Six of the students will be based in the
emergency department while the other two will be based with
Ballarat surgeons who will offer them mentoring through their rooms
and operating lists.
