Winners School of Clinical Sciences BMedSc (Hons) Conference Attendance Prize 2015

In 2015 the School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health (SCS) received an anonymous donation of $2443 and have put this toward a number of student prizes to contribute to the costs of attending a conference to present the findings of BMedSc projects.

We received 12 applications to be considered for the travel prize. We were very impressed with, and proud of, the depth and breadth of topics covered by BMedSc students. Actually they were all very strong applications.   7 winners of the travel prizes were chosen:
