Bundaberg Year 10 students have joined fellow students from Gladstone, Emerald and Rockhampton for a taste of a career in medicine.
It’s part of a series of workshops run by CQUniversity on behalf of the Regional Medical Pathway.
CQU Associate Professor Andrew Fenning said encouraging them in Year 10 will help them decide on the subjects they’ll choose in their senior years – if they choose to go in to medicine.
“It is a great opportunity to provide students with this important information, but to also provide hands-on activities that allow them to have fun and experience what it’s like to be a clinician,” Mr Fenning said.
“(We’re) looking at the importance of subject selection to ensure they’re meeting the right criteria and on track to obtaining a really strong ATAR.”
156 students from across 30 schools attended the workshops.
