GPSN is a student-run not-for-profit organisation with a key focus on advocating for General Practice as a viable specialty and career path for medical students and junior doctors. With clubs at 21 (soon to be 22) Australian medical schools, GPSN also runs fantastic events focussed on improving rural health, indigenous health, and community health, by upskilling its members, advocating for more and higher quality rural placement opportunities for medical students and fostering partnerships with local clinicians, researchers and health service providers. If you’re passionate about any of the above, then like and follow GPSN Deakin to stay updated on our fantastic events throughout the year in and around the Geelong and Surf Coast region!
