The Curtin Health Community eNewsletter is a bi-monthly online publication highlighting the remarkable achievements of the Health Sciences faculty, including those of our alumni, students, researchers, and staff who are making an impact in the field!
In the edition, we shine a light on the people and ideas shaping a healthier future. You’ll read about alumni supporting first responders, students delivering valuable community services, groundbreaking research, and upcoming events offering new ways to connect and learn.
In this edition, we celebrate the nurses, alumni, and researchers driving change in healthcare — from 40 Under 40 honourees and disability support award recipients to Professor Penelope Hasking’s COMPAS program transforming student wellbeing.
In this edition, we highlight the impact of our Curtin Health Community; from alumni reimagining dental care to students building confidence through paramedicine training, and the life-changing role of scholarships in medicine.
As we begin a new year, we reflect on and celebrate our alumni, students, researchers and partners who continue to shape the future of health and community wellbeing here in Western Australia and around the world.
Here’s to a year ahead filled with discovery, collaboration and positive change.
