Professor Jennifer Reath

General Practitioner

Peter Brennan Chair of General Practice at the University of Western Sydney

I am a General Practitioner working in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health. Even as a medical student at the University of Queensland it seemed to me that Aboriginal health was an area where there was an opportunity to make a difference. I always wanted to understand why things were so and how things could be improved.

Professor Howard Gurney

Director of Medical Oncology and Clinical Trials, Macquarie University

Head of Clinical Research for Medical Oncology, Westmead Hospital

My reason to get into clinical trials is because medicine, the human body and the disease processes are so complex that we cannot possibly understand them. Clinical trials are the conduit to understand things more and therefore improve patient care.

Professor of Evidence-Based Medicine

Bond University

After my medical training when I was doing clinical work, I was interested in how we answer uncertainties in medicine.  I serendipitously discovered that clinical trials were the best way to answer our everyday clinical questions.
