Bachelor of Health Sciences

I love working with students in the Bachelor of Health Science at Flinders University. I'm actually a graduate of the Bachelor of Health Science here myself and I really enjoy engaging with students and teaching students and working with students to achieve the best that they possibly can. I enrolled in Health Sciences at Flinders Uni because it was a really good way of trialling nutrition and a good way to get some real base scientific knowledge and how the body works. What motivates me is the fact that we get to help people. So also when I started off I basically wanted to do psychology, medicine, something in rehabilitation and the Bachelor of Health Sciences at Flinders University definitely brings that all together. The Bachelor of Health Science has all different aspects that you can do so it really hones your skills in your anatomy and the Bachelor of Health Science also has a lot of different health professionals around you so I'm going to be working with different OTs, dieticians just like in the real world where I get that experience at uni so I'm really used to communicating with them and working in that team environment. The Flinders University students that we have with us at the Repat, I suppose the thing that I notice working clinically with them is that they come to us with a high level of confidence with their communication skills and a really good understanding of the health system as a whole. So we have that win-win, great learning opportunity, great patient care. The best thing about the fellow students and colleagues is that unlike school you've chosen to be here so you're actually doing what you enjoy and you love and so everyone kind of shares in that and helps each other out. I've made such great friends that I've got a really tiny group of friends that we've all progressed through the Bachelor of Health Science degree which I'm going to have those friends for life. I'm really excited to help people have a meaningful and purpose in their life and make it fulfilling. The fact that I'm going to help somebody is just mind-boggling.
