Professional Development for Primary Care Students

What a deadly celebration it's been. 🥳 NAIDOC Week 2024. The @unimelbMSPGH choir sang Wominjeka Birrarunga (welcome [you to] river country) by Deborah Cheetam powerfully. And the @onemda morning tea was delicious. Thank you. 😊

Our trial tested a decision aid in general practice to increase aspirin use for bowel cancer prevention but found no effect. This marks the final publication of my PhD 🎓. Many thanks to the author team for their support throughout this journey 🙏 #PhDone
