After working as a clinician for a numberof years I was keen to explore opportunitiesto move into management. I enrolled in

postgraduate studies to develop mymanagement skills in the public sector

knowing that I wanted to continue towork in the healthcare industry.

I chose to study a Master of Public Policyand Management at Monash on the basis

that it was not health specic, but did focuson policy and management in the publicsector. I was particularly keen to interactwith non-health professionals to understandthe differing views on public issues.
