A Teaching Practice – Testimonials
DR WILLIAM OWEN………… “a great place to live and work”
“I am a Sydney University graduate, with ten years of experience in NSW hospitals in fields as diverse as Critical Care and Pathology.
I am looking forward to commencing my GPT3 term at South Mudgee Surgery. I have spent my previous two terms here and have been very happy with the teaching and support that I have received. The Practice is a friendly environment in which to work. The other doctors and the Practice staff are always willing to help and are very experienced with Registrars.
When I started GP training, I realised just how much there was to learn and I really appreciate the structured way that my responsibilities has been gradually increased, while I have gained knowledge and experience on the job and at BME workshops.
I have been fully supported when it comes to teaching sessions and leave to undertake workshops or community visits, and I have been treated fairly with my pay and conditions. There is also plenty of scope for developing procedural skills if you have an interest in that area.
The town of Mudgee is a very pleasant place to live and work. I have found the people welcoming, friendly and grateful for the fact that new doctors come to their town.
Considering its proximity to Sydney, it is a nice surprise to be able to complete an outer rural term here.
I would strongly recommend South Mudgee Surgery as a placement.”
DR KATHRYN ROBERTS (FOX)……….”an excellent learning experience”
“The term I spent at South Mudgee Surgery was an excellent learning experience. I really enjoyed the diversity of General Practice patients, with the opportunity to manage more complex medical problems compared to my urban terms. The on-call was busy but not too frequent, with all the variety you would expect from Emergency Department. I was well supported clinically by the GPs in the practice and had regular blocked-off teaching time. Practice staff made me feel very welcome and I enjoyed the team atmosphere. Mudgee is a beautiful town, ther is plenty to do with good cafes, beautiful cellar door wineries and amazing national parks nearby. I would love to retun if my circumstances allow and would recommend South Mudgee Surgery to other GP registrars.”
DR ALAA AL ABDULLA (ALI)……….”I highly recommend South Mudgee Surgery”
“I have had a very nice time working in South Mudgee Surgery. I enjoyed everything, the staff and the work environment. Dr Ghanem and Dr Moore are very supportive ( I still remember what they’ve done for me during my accident) and how supportive they were as well as everyone else.
In South Mudgee Surgery there was real emphasis on teaching and always there was support next door to you.
Mudgee is a very nice town, I have enjoyed the cafes there and I have enjoyed the great coffee (got to try the one at Alley Cats coffee house) so I highly recommend South Mudgee Surgery.”
DR QINGZHAN ZHANG (Johnathan)……….”the working experience I had in Mudgee was invaluable
“I did my GP registrar Term 1 and 2 at South Mudgee Surgery. The supervisors and staff were very supportive. I had a fantastic time there. The working experience I had in Mudgee was invaluable for me to pass RACGP Fellowship Exams. And it’s only 3 hours drive from Sydney.”
