Autumn 2006

Introduction and Welcome

Welcome to the Summer 2006 edition of MDA National Student E News!

Ever find yourself wondering what it will be like when at last you finish your studies and become a real doctor responsible for real life patients? In this edition we get an insiders view from an Intern at the Royal Adelaide Hospital who confirms the obvious – it’s not all Grey’s Anatomy! We announce the winners of the 2006 Elective Essay Competition – did someone at your uni get lucky? Plus we take a closer look at a case study about Doctor Patient Confidentiality and what can happen when the Police come knocking in the Emergency Department – what would you do? You can also check out what your fellow students are up to at events around the country.
