Student Placement Partnership Agreement

Adelaide PHN recently welcomed the first cohort of masters students from the University of South Australia (UniSA) following the signing of a Student Placement Partnership Agreement on 22 March 2023. The agreement will result in two intakes per year, with five students working on a project per semester.

Guillaume, Aarushi, Shweta, Gangtey, and Maggie commenced their capstone project and will work closely with our Digital Health Team for 13 weeks to explore and analyse factors that impact the adoption of telehealth services in general practices across Adelaide.

Guillaume is excited about working with the PHN team on the project and helping with data analysis, while Aarushi is pleased about the opportunity to understand how things work in the industry.

“I am keen to learn about the application of data extraction and conversion and apply what we have learnt at UniSA to real-life scenarios,” Aarushi said.

The student’s work in their capstone projects will contribute to our understanding of the current landscape and potentially help shape our future efforts in promoting telehealth.

Adelaide PHN Digital Health Manager Ben Okonjo says, “The signing of the Student Placement Partnership Agreement highlights

Adelaide PHN’s clear commitment to fostering future health care leaders. The Digital Health Team is excited to welcome the students and work closely with them.”

We look forward to working with the students and will keep you updated on this project.
