Congratulations to Anna Vnuk, on her revalidation of Fellowship with ANZAHPE.

With a background in general practice, I first started working health professional education over 30 years ago, teaching medical students clinical skills at Flinders University.  More recently, I have had the pleasure of working for James Cook University in Cairns, a very beautiful part of the world! I undertook a Masters of Clinical Education at UNSW and a Doctor of Education at Flinders.  My research has always focused on the student experience – mostly the experience of learning physical examination, but also becoming self regulated learners, use of learning strategies, dealing with professionalism dilemmas and, most recently, the financial impacts of compulsory placement. 

ANZAHPE is a wonderful organisation to be a part of.  I have gained a lot from the ANZAHPE conferences, particularly developing research collaborations.  I have been pleased to be able to be part of the ANZAHPE management with my four years on ANZAHPE board of management.  I am part of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion subcommittee and look forward to continuing my involvement in this area.
