Hunters Hill Medical Practice hosts medical and nursing students from 3 NSW universities
Hunters Hill Medical Practice has a long and proud history of supporting medical education. We have been privileged to host many local and international medical and nursing students. Medical education and teaching are part of the HHMP DNA. Having students at the practice is an enriching experience for our patients, our doctors and the students themselves.
HHMP has recently hosted medical students from:
- The University of Sydney (on a regular basis)
- Macquarie University (on a regular basis since 2019)
- The University of Newcastle (Primary care placement)
HHMP has hosted Masters of Nursing students from:
- The University of Sydney (on a regular basis)
Last Wednesday students from all 3 universities were attending the practice at the same time. This presented a great opportunity for the 4 medical and 1 nursing students to spend time together and discuss various aspects of their courses and medical education. The students often rotate between various HHMP doctors and nurses who share their knowledge and experience with these students.
Patients are always given a choice about having or not having a student in the consult. Many patients often find having a student an enlightening experience as the teaching that occurs gives patients new perspectives into their condition and an understanding of how the doctor thinks and comes to a conclusion.
