While Isabelle Hau has come a long way, she’s almost back
where she started.
The Monash University final year medical student was born at
Monash Medical Centre in 1994 and will begin her medical career as a junior
doctor at Monash Health next year.
“I chose to study medicine after taking a psychology
elective in high school, when I decided I wanted to become a psychiatrist,”
said Isabelle.
“The other driving factors for becoming a doctor are my
curiosity in people, a desire to help others and a need for intellectual
stimulation.”
Isabelle’s undergraduate medical training included clinical
placements at Monash Medical Centre, Moorabbin Hospital, Dandenong Hospital and
Casey Hospital. In Year 3 she was also the Monash University Medical
Undergraduates’ Society (MUMUS) Clinical School Student Liaison.
“My placements have shown me that Monash Health creates
supportive work environments and employs genuinely caring staff—these
experiences have left a positive and lasting impression on me,” said Isabelle.
While she’s still keeping an open mind about her future
medical career, Isabelle is considering specialising in critical care as she
particularly enjoyed her emergency medicine and anaesthetics rotations.
“I’m very excited to start work as a junior doctor and learn
amongst friends at Monash health in 2017.”
“It will be a privilege to give back to Monash Health and
the Monash community.”
Isabelle thanks and acknowledges the tremendous support
she’s received from her family, friends and doctors who have nurtured and
guided her.
