On Thursday evening 5th June, 2008, the final year Bachelor of Biomedical Science student presentations were held giving students the opportunity to showcase their work resulting from professional placements.
Presentations consisted of case studies in the form of posters from all students and oral presentations delivered by Rachael Littlejohn, Annalise Harvey, For Hae Ng, Le Ma and Maree Savage to staff and students from the School of Human Life Sciences and representatives from Pathology laboratories throughout the State. Prizes were kindly donated by Diagnostic Services Pty Ltd (DSPL) and the Launceston General Hospital.
Due to the exceptional standard of presentations the judging panel had a difficult time in selecting a winner. The “Best Oral Presentation Prize” of $250 was won by For Hae Ng with his case study of “A Case of Dengue Fever in an SLE Patient”. Kong Soon Yow was awarded the $200 prize for the best poster on “Dengue Fever”, and the prestigious DSPL award for “Best Overall Student in Bachelor of Biomedical Science” was awarded to Rachael Littlejohn.
