Past student completed and suggested Project ideas
Drug and alcohol with the Case Worker – a growing area needing support and with lots of research scope.
Spend time with an elder who showed us around the community and told us lots of history of the area.
A few more programs developing at the moment. Maybe follow them up.

Everyone was really supportive and keen to have us there, and to hopefully encourage us to return to Rumba as a practicing GP.
The health service staff was great and very accommodating
Very approachable staff and patients.
