Georgina Key / BACHELOR OF MEDICAL RADIATION SCIENCE (MEDICAL IMAGING)

Learning about the technical aspects of medical imaging, studying in a multidisciplinaryhealth setting and workingwith real patients have been the highlights of Georgia’s study experience.

“My placements reallyhelped me to develop my radiography skills.

“I was also able to complete a rural placement in Port Lincoln where I thoroughly enjoyed working in the hospital and living independently. It helped me to experience what medical imaging is like inthe clinical environment.”
