ALREADY finding Camperdown a beautiful place, doctors Chien-Che Lin and Nyi Nyi Lwin are keen to further develop their GP skills.
Dr Nyi Nyi Lwin joined the ranks of the Robinson Street Medical Clinic while Dr Chien-Che Lin will be a familiar face at the Scott Street Medical Clinic.
Signing on as registrars for the next 12 months, the pair already has a wealth of experience between them.
Dr Lwin spent the past three years at Frankston Hospital and completed seven rotations.
“Each rotation was served in completely different areas of the hospital so that I would get as much exposure to different situations as possible,” he said.
“It was all designed to prepare me for GP practice.
“Now that I’m in Camperdown, I’m looking forward to experiencing how a clinic runs and to building up a longer term rapport with some of the patients.”
Originally from Burma, Dr Lwin said he had always aimed to study medicine.
“I just wanted to help and look after people,” he said.
“I’m also very interested in medicine and like the fact that it involves lifelong learning.”
Dr Lin spent the previous year completing rotations at Eastern Health in Melbourne which took in both the Box Hill and Maroondah hospitals.
“I did everything from paediatrics to oncology and night shift,” he said.
“It was great experience and will certainly be a great help as a GP.”
Before that Dr Lin spent a year at the Shepparton Base Hospital after travelling from Taiwan to study medicine at Melbourne University.
“As an intern, most of the medical exposure I had was with GPs,” he said.
“It was a specialty that really appealed to me – the whole package of medicine, getting to know the patients more and being a part of the wider community.”
