\"RBWH

Matthew Basa<\/p><\/div>\n

Why did you decide to become a doctor?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was in my final year of studying veterinary sciences when I had an allergic reaction to a cat which landed me in hospital. It was here that I witnessed how great our health system is in Australia and how well supported our hospitals are. As soon as I got the idea of studying medicine in my head, my mind was made up.<\/p>\n

What attracted you to complete your intern year at RBWH?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Royal Brisbane and Women\u2019s Hospital was my first preference for my intern year. I have a mentor who completed their intern year here and highly recommended RBWH for its supportive environment, exposure to different specialties and diverse range of presentations.<\/p>\n

What are you most excited about?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t wait to make the transition from student to intern so I can take on some responsibilities and learn from medical industry leaders.<\/p>\n

Where do you see your career in the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n

After my intern year, I\u2019d love to specialise in general surgery or trauma. I like the pragmatic nature of surgery and the fact that you can be active and use your hands.<\/p>\n

A warm welcome to all our medical and nursing interns. We hope you have a great year!<\/p>\n<\/div>
