It’s that time of year again…
Not the holiday season but perhaps equally as exciting, the NCWQ Bursaries are now open!
This year, there are THREE specific bursaries that QMWS has partnered with the NCWQ to support.
But, as a brief recap though :
Inspirational role models and mentoring opportunities are instrumental in inspiring, shaping and supporting extraordinary careers. This bursary supports female medical students’ involvement in local and international conferences and networking opportunities, so that they may reach their full potential, achieve their dreams, and work towards truely equitable health outcomes for all.
The career of Professor Tess Cramond, former President of the Australian Medical Association Queensland (AMAQ), as an anaesthetist continues to inspire generations of medical women. This bursary supports female medical students to attend an AMA or Medical Women’s Society event in order to foster leadership skills necessary to address gender inequity in medicine.
Mater, as part of their commitment to reconciliation and the Makarrata Commission would like to encourage and empower a female medical graduate who identifies as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander, to further their medical career and/or leadership aspirations. This bursary is one step in a broader goal of the QMWS and Mater – to advance the parity of representation of First Nations Peoples in the Australian medical workforce, and in its leadership.
