Eight enthusiastic participants joined the program and got to enjoy the perfect weather conditions by working on some the topics in the sunshine. The guest speaker was Pat Charles who was both very informative and entertaining. A few games of pool and fussball was enjoyed by the group with some opting for tennis. Stephen Warrillow, Cameron Knott and Mark NgTangFui presented on key topics were well received by the group. Jag Singh from CPMEC kept the program running to time and ensured each topic was an enjoyable learning experience.
"...We have islands of knowledge in a sea of ignorance..." quote from a Trainee preparing to sit the RACP Clinical exam in July 2007.
