It is my absolute pleasure to host this medical oration by Assoc. Prof Maithri Goonetilleke, Monash University Australia (Clayton) on
Athyna. With Dr. Margaret Simmons at Gippsland, Dr. Maithri and I make up the
‘International HKS team’ as we’ve nicknamed ourselves.
The medical oration is a speech traditionally given at the beginning of the year to the Clayton cohort of medical students. Dr. Maithri has given the address for the last several years. Enjoy!
