Health boost
Horsham health providers will host two post-graduate medicine students in 2022 as part of a Rural Community Clinical School program.
While completing their studies, Emma Wylie and Sonya Klimpsch from Deakin University Waurn Ponds Campus in Geelong, will work out of Lister House Medical Clinic under doctors David Wilson and Chris Wimbury, as well as at Wimmera Base Hospital.
Originally from Gippsland, Miss Wylie, who has previously worked as a nurse in Warragul and studied at Federation University Churchill campus in Gippsland, said she was excited to experience a new town. “I am looking forward to working here, but I am also keen to explore the area, visit the Grampians and check out some of the great food and wine in the region,” she said.
Miss Klimpsch, who grew up on a farm in Wagga Wagga, has lived and studied in Melbourne as an adult, graduating from Monash University with a science undergraduate degree and graduate diploma.
“I always wanted to work in health and living in Horsham is a chance to get back to my country roots and experience working at a regional general practice for a year,” she said.
