With the start of a new semester, we welcome the arrival of the new batch of doctors-to-be. For the new meddies from Singapore embarking on this five year journey in Melbourne, this would be both an exciting and uncertain few months. They would have to adjust to life and the culture in Australia, for most being the first time away from home, tackle a demanding course, as well as make many new acquaintances.

Having a supportive group of friends from back home to identify with would no doubt make this transition easier and more enjoyable. Having seniors around to share their stories and give advice would certainly help too.

The senior-meet-junior dinner held on the 27th of March was one such opportunity for the freshies to finally meet their more seasoned colleagues, make new friends, and gain some insight into what lies in the years ahead. For the seniors, it was the chance to check out what our new juniors were like, and hopefully share a little of what we have learnt these few years. We gathered at the South East Flats Pavilion, and shared our stories over a wide range of delectable culinary creations contributed by everyone who attended.
