PROSPECTIVE medical students are set to benefit from a new partnership between the Rotary Club of Albury-Hume and the University of NSW Rural Medical School.

The partners have created an annual medical scholarship which is now open to applications.

The club will facilitate seminars in partnership with the medical school for school students in years 9 to 12 who are interested in exploring a medical career, including insights into academic pathways to gain entry to university through to taking up medical practice.

Representatives from university will speak about a career in medicine, providing details of study requirements and training.

Scholarship co-ordinator Peter Lee said students would receive a much wider grounding in which university subjects would be required for their study.

We are also looking to have speakers from allied health areas speak about careers in areas such as nursing, paramedics and physiotherapy.

Prospective medical students will be invited to the UNSW medical open day in April.
