My current research interests include an investigation of the current knowledge and understanding of childhood obesity in medical students engaged in undergraduate study in a rural setting. I am also involved in an evaluation of the KM Club in rural Australia; measuring a range of outcomes to assess potential factors associated with successful implementation of the program. Together with colleagues in the UNSW Rural Clinical School I am evaluating the outcomes of students undertaking their full undergraduate medical degree in a rural setting.
