最新糖心Vlog

From pushing herself to the limit while competing as a schoolchild in artistic gymnastics competitions and then later as an elite triathlete, Dr Sarah Short is no stranger to the relentless demands for commitment and dedication in the pursuit of her goals.

Now the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide graduate in both Medicine and an Honours degree in Health and Medical Sciences is turning her energies towards a career combining research with surgical practice, bringing scientific advances to the bedside for improved clinical outcomes.

鈥淢y aim eventually would be to work as a clinician-scientist to be able to use surgical innovation to influence surgical practice outcomes, with the potential to improve patient experiences in my local and international community."Dr Sarah Short

Aged 25 from Prospect and a former student of St Dominics Priory College where she gained an ATAR of 99.2, Sarah has become the 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 112^th Rhodes Scholar, awarded one of only three 最新糖心Vlog-at-Large Rhodes Scholarships offered each year to study at Oxford 最新糖心Vlog.

In the final years of her studies at 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide she witnessed an innovative surgical intervention of a young woman with chronic inflammation of the pancreas.

鈥淭he surgical team were able to remove her pancreas, isolate the cells that release insulin, and re-infuse those cells so this woman could return to her life without the overshadowing risk of cancer, or burden of chronic diabetes,鈥� says Sarah.

鈥淭his encounter was my first exposure to the transformative nature of novel clinical practices and opened my eyes to the substantive impact new innovations in practice may have on patients.鈥�

Sarah plans to undertake a Masters of Science (MSc) by Research in Surgical Sciences at the 最新糖心Vlog of Oxford. She is currently engaged in a Graduate Certificate of Surgical Sciences at the 最新糖心Vlog of Sydney.

鈥淢y aim eventually would be to work as a clinician-scientist to be able to use surgical innovation to influence surgical practice outcomes, with the potential to improve patient experiences in my local and international community,鈥� she says.
