September 1, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

Students from Kingaroy were among hundreds of young people from across the Darling Downs Health region who took part in a recent Aspire2Health program.<\/p>\n

The workshops aimed to give senior school students a real-world taste of a career in healthcare and the opportunity to meet health professionals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe health sector is the largest employer in the region so the Aspire2Health program is a wonderful way to ensure we link some of our brightest students to health,\u201d Toowoomba and Surat Basin Enterprise (TSBE) spokesperson Jaden Frame said.<\/p>\n

“Students seemed to really enjoy the activities on offer, especially those hands-on skills which they might not have expected to encounter before university. They also appreciated learning about the many different opportunities involved in healthcare.”<\/p>\n

One of the goals of the Aspire2Health program is to encourage students to return to live and work where they grew up once they become qualified.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that students from a rural area who undertake a health degree are more likely to return to practice in a rural area so bringing these workshops to regional and rural Southern Queensland creates a pathway for health career choices to grow the rural health workforce,\u201d Southern Queensland Rural Health Director Associate Professor Geoff Argus said.<\/p>\n

UQ Rural Clinical School Deputy Director Dr Doogie Whitcombe said the Aspire2Health program was an excellent way for Year 9 and 10 students to meet health professionals from a variety of backgrounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost students are aware the roles of a doctor or a nurse, and while these careers are discussed, there are a multitude of other career pathways the students may not be aware of,\u201d Dr Whitcombe said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe main message of the day is that quality healthcare is a huge team effort which requires the input of multiple highly trained individuals.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
