The Rural Clinical School team have been awarded the 2023 UQ Awards for Excellence in Service.
The award recognises and celebrates individuals and teams that have made an outstanding and significant contribution to delivering excellence in service to students, staff or the wider community.
The award recognised the outstanding and exceptional service provided to medical students, the medical community and the broader community by the five Regional Clinical Units.
Clare Butters, Senior Manager of the Rural Clinical School received the award on behalf of the team.
“It was a great honour to have the opportunity to accept the Award for Excellence in Service on behalf of our wonderful team,” she said.
“Our work contributes to the UQ community because it expands the offerings that UQ has and helps our regional and rural communities to see that UQ is present in many different places.
“To win this award is really exciting,” she said.
"Being separate geographically, sometimes, we can feel somewhat less visible by the UQ community.
"It is wonderful to see the support that UQ has for the Rural Clinical School and our regions, and we feel very visible and supported at the moment."
