Students say thanks The University of Notre Dame’s Australia Rural and Remote Health Placement Program (RRHPP) celebrated its 10th anniversary with four simultaneous ‘Thank You’ dinners in the Wheatbelt towns of Cunderdin, Kellerberrin, Merredin and Narrogin. Notre Dame’s Head of Population and Preventive Health, Prof Donna Mak said the program, which earned a national teaching award last year, taught medical students the importance of service and the ethical and personal aspects of delivering health care – something which cannot be achieved by academics and course books alone.
