A former
Monash University medical student has received the Royal Australasian College
of Physicians (RACP) Bryan Hudson Medal.
Dr Megan
Brown, who now works at Monash Health, received the medal for best overall
performance in the 2014 RACP Written and Clinical Examinations in Adult
Medicine.
The medal is
named in honour of the late Dr Bryan Hudson AO FRACP, President of the College
in 1982-1984. Dr Hudson was an outstanding physician, teacher and
administrator.
Professor
Peter Ebeling, Department of Medicine at Monash University, said it was both a singular honour and great
distinction for Dr Brown to be awarded the medal.
“I am particularly delighted as the award is
named in honour of Professor Bryan Hudson AO who was the inaugural Professor of
the Department of Medicine at Monash Medical Centre, which I now lead as its
fifth Head. Professor Hudson was also an internationally renowned
endocrinologist; a brilliant teacher and researcher; and went on to become
President of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians amongst many other
prestigious career achievements.”
Dr Brown,
who graduated from Monash in 2010, said receiving the award was a great honour.
“I feel overwhelmed and very blessed. This award really reflects the hard
work that had gone into the BPT training program at Monash Health. It reflects
the amazing teaching and support we receive from our consultants and the
incredible people I have had the privilege to study with. I also praise God for
the incredible support I have had from my family and friends who have
encouraged me and prayed for me throughout the study process.”
The
presentation of awards and medals will take place at the annual College
Ceremony, which in 2015 will take place in Cairns QLD.
