Meet one of our newest members, Dr Sharmila Ramessur Chandran.

Sharmila Ramessur is a renal physician in Melbourne. Since her trainee years, she has been involved in postgraduate medical education as well as the teaching of medical students and more recently has been involved in the creation of education courses such as the leadership course of RACP and the update course of ANZSN. She has also taken several advocacy roles within educational organisations, and is currently the president elect of RACP.

"I still really encourage ground teaching of medical students and physician trainees.  I teach medical students through University of Melbourne at Epworth Healthcare and I am a FRACP examiner. I am currently in the midst of a Masters in Clinical Education through the University of Melbourne, as I am keen to become involved in medical education research. I heard about ANZAHPE and I immediately joined as I am keen to play an active role in the association."
