This month, WPRS has been proud to offer a work experience placement for Year 10 student Hannah. Hannah reached out to WPRS when looking at her work experience options, as she has a keen interest in medicine and wants to be a Dermatologist in the future! During her time at WPRS, she was able to work with our two Specialist Dermatologists Dr Werner Sinclair and Dr Sara Sabourirad. I asked Hannah to give us some insight how she came to develop such an interest and her time at WPRS.
Hannah, what interests you about dermatology and how did you come to know about WPRS?
I came to know about WPRS through being a patient of Dr. Sinclair’s for my dermatitis back in 2020.
How has the experience been here in the clinic?
My experience at WPRS this week has been wonderful. It has been a big eye-opener to the types of things that are treated and dealt with here. The staff have been amazing, they’ve been so kind and considerate to me during the week.
Was there anything you found surprising?
The biggest interest/surprise I have from my time here is the types of procedures performed. I was fortunate enough to see them performed in full and understand the stages within each procedure. The surprising part for me was learning that lesions can occur anywhere on the body and come in all sizes.
What do you hope to achieve by becoming a Dermatologist one day?
After my own experience, I hope to one day specialise in Dermatology and treat patients with any present conditions.
Would you recommend WPRS to other students?
Yes, I would like to thank WPRS for the opportunity to undertake work experience with the nurses and Dermatologists this week and am extremely grateful for your time and kindness.
Our Dermatology team prides themselves on offering a world-class service available locally and we are glad to be able to offer opportunities to tomorrow’s Dermatologists. WPRS is also recognised as an accredited training facility and regularly trains Dermatology registrars of all year levels.
