Hi everyone!

It is merch time 😎😎😎😎

Merch is open to all years for purchase! We have a class of 2029 quarter zip that will be embroidered and a medicine wide crewneck that is available for purchase. The photos used are mock ups and the suppliers will centre the logos and texts and make them look more aligned.



Sales START NOW and will be open until 25th of May 2026. Pickup will be at the Waurn Ponds campus and we will put a message out when it is ready for collection. If you have any questions please message the MD1 social rep Zachariah Soulaiman.

Still undecided on your specialty? You aren’t alone ‼️

If the thought of picking a career for the next 30 years feels a bit heavy, or if you missed our “Careers Nights”, we’ve found a resource you need to hear from. Bayesian Musings is a new podcast hosted by Dr. Vish, an ICU doctor at Geelong Hospital.

Think of it as a “Careers Night on the Go.” Dr. Vish sits down with local consultants and registrars for the kind of unfiltered, honest conversations you usually only hear over a post-shift coffee.

Why it’s worth a listen:
• The Origin Stories: It moves past the CVs to explore the pivots, the doubts, and the reality that isn’t in the Deakin handbook.
• The Day to Day: What does life actually look like? From family balance to the ratio of paperwork vs clinical time, it covers the culture, not just the medicine.
• Local Intel: Because these are local docs, the advice on training pathways and hospital dynamics applies directly to the system we’re in right now.

Here are a few links to access Bayesian Musings:

At MeDUSA, we love organising social events and bringing our cohort together, but we’re also working hard behind the scenes to support and advocate for our students.
Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to recently:

- We have provided feedback on the Deakin student travel support guidelines to help ensure equitable support for our rurally based students.

- We are currently liaising with AMA Victoria to contribute student perspectives to ongoing EBA discussions.

- We are collaborating with other Victorian medical schools to organise inter-university social events and strengthen connections across cohorts.
