A new generation of doctors begins at NSLHD NSLHD has welcomed 72 Junior Medical
“I’m so grateful that I’ll be able to work alongside some of the best doctors in the world, learn from them and make a difference for the public.” JMO Bianca Khoury said her decision to pursue medicine was shaped by seeing the impact doctors can have across different communities. “Watching my grandfather practise as a GP in South Africa and later in Australia showed me the lasting relationships at the heart of good medical care,” she said. Sometimes simply being present has value in itself.” Also joining the cohort is Crystal Piper, a current serving Navy medical officer. “Joining the Navy allows me to combine medicine and service,” Crystal said. I hope to be a calm presence in stressful moments and deliver safe, compassionate care to every patient.”
Officers (JMOs) to its hospitals as part of the 2026 clinical year, marking the beginning of an important new chapter for the district’s future medical workforce. The cohort participated in an orientation program that included education sessions, networking opportunities, clinical training and a welcome morning tea, giving JMOs the chance to connect with peers and discuss the year ahead. Over the next 12 months, the JMOs will undertake supervised practice across metropolitan, regional and rural hospitals, gaining hands-on experience supported by structured education and training as they progress towards independent practice. Among the cohort is Jordan Munro, a former paramedic whose path to medicine began early. “Getting to work in NSLHD is such a blessing,” he said.
