| Associate Professor Ayoub |
Congratulations Dr Sally Ayoub who has been appointed
Associate Professor (Practice), in the role of Director of Undergraduate
Medical Education, School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health, Faculty of
Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences.
A former Monash University and SCS student, Sally has a long
association with Monash Health, first as a junior doctor and also completing
the majority of her physician training here.
As a PhD candidate in Professor Eric Morand’s research
group, Sally helped initiate the highly successful lupus research program.
“My interest in medical education started more than ten
years ago as a bedside tutor,” said Sally.
“Taking on my current role as Director of Undergraduate
Medical Education at SCS nearly three years ago has been the most rewarding and
challenging role in my career thus far.”
“Sally has been a vital part of our teaching team at SCS for
many years and has led it very capably since 2012," said Head of School of
Clinical Sciences at Monash Health, Professor Eric Morand.
"I am delighted the University has recognised the
importance of the position she holds, directing Monash’s largest medical
student programs, with her appointment to this new title."
“I work with an incredible team to deliver an exciting and
very high quality clinical program; we are all passionate about giving our
students the best experience in the most supported environment possible,” said
Sally.
“We want to train the best doctors for the future, but we
are also acutely conscious of the high rates of mental and other health issues
in this young population.”
“Over the coming years, I hope we can consolidate the work
we have done to help tackle these issues within our large cohort of students,
with evidence based interventions which can be utilised at other universities
and medical schools,” added Sally.
Sally plans to build on the already rigorous education program
at SCS by utilising some state-of-the-art IT platforms.
“I hope my promotion is a signal to those with an interest
in education that this is now a well-recognised pathway to academic success.”
Please help us celebrate Sally’s promotion this Thursday
13 August at 11am in the Surgery Seminar Room, Level 5, Block E.
