On Monday we were delighted to present the winner of the 2019 Fred Johnston Award

, Dr Mikaila Kilov, with her award and prize.

Named after our founding president the award goes the UWA medical school graduate

with the highest aggregate marks.

After graduating from Perth College, Mikaila studied engineering at UWA,

however it did not take her long to swap to the biological sciences and genetics.

While studying, she developed a passion for public health,

particularly in rural and remote areas and in future is looking

to specialise in infectious diseases.

Since graduating from medical school, Dr Kilov

has been working as an intern at Royal Perth.

Next year Dr Kilov has a Residency position at Broome Regional Hospital

– and will hopefully join the Rotary Club of Broome!

We wish to update you on our 2016 Fred Johnston Awardee Georgia Walker.

Medicine/arts graduate Georgia Walker has been named

Dr Walker is committed to improving child health outcomes

and works as a trainee paediatrician at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne

. She plans to use her scholarship to undertake a Master of Tropical Medicine

and International Health at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine,

developing skills in research methodology, public health and policy

and clinical management of childhood infections.

Dr Walker will then work as a research clinician in The Gambia, West Africa,

to complete her training before moving to the Northern Territory

to work as a paediatrician and public health advocate,

driving change in the underlying social factors of poor Indigenous child health.

Our age demographic came down substantially this morning with our young visitors.

It was a pleasure to meet Taryn and present her with a small token
