New Curtin University of Technology scholar, Jada Ng, has chosen the hands-on route to a future career by enrolling in a physiotherapy course.<\/p>\n
The 17-year-old Canning Vale resident is one of Curtin\u2019s new Health Sciences Excellence scholars who have demonstrated high-level academic achievement in their Tertiary Entrance Examinations.<\/p>\n
Topping the list of the more than 50 Health Sciences Excellence scholars, Miss Ng knew she wanted a career in health but was not sure what to pursue.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are so many good courses to choose from in health sciences, but I just could not decide what I wanted for a career,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was fortunate to have had a work experience opportunity in physiotherapy in Year 11 that really opened my eyes to the potential of this career.<\/p>\n
\u201cLater, I also talked to a physiotherapist and found out more about the course and career when I came to Curtin\u2019s Open Day.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love the idea of having a challenging career that is very hands-on and practical in nature that will also require problem solving skills.\u201d<\/p>\n
Miss Ng said one of her favourite school subjects was human biology and that she was looking forward to helping people through her career.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve always enjoyed learning about the human body, and I want to be able to use the skills and knowledge that I will learn to help solve the problems of people who are in pain,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very excited to start my studies and experience the practical aspect of the course I\u2019ve chosen.<\/p>\n
\u201cLearning how to diagnose problems and clinical work are areas I am really looking forward to.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0The Curtin Health Sciences Excellence Scholarships were available to students who received a TER of 96.00 or above in 2009 and selected the University as a first preference through TISC to undertake an eligible undergraduate health sciences degree.<\/p>\n
The scholarship provides a $5,000 cash payment per annum to assist with costs associated with studying, like textbooks and other incidental expenses, for the normal expected duration of the degree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
