Full circle for trainee doctor WILLIAM WOODWORTH
Standing amid the excited chatter, trainee doctor Tegan Benseman couldn’t help but smile. Five years earlier, she had been at the Future of Work Conference
as a Marlborough Girls’ College student. Back again last Wednesday as a University of Otago graduate, Tegan says she was inspired to become a doctor at the conference. Talking to Dr Sara Simmonds
sparked an interest in medicine which has now seen her on placement at Wairau Hospital. “I went from just having a conversation here with Sara in 2019 to doing four years of school at the University of Otago.
“Coming back to not only Blenheim but the conference which started it all as a rural programme medical student is truly full circle,” Tegan explains. Organised by the Graeme Dingle Foundation, the event
saw hundreds of students chat to representatives from more than 50 local businesses. The opportunity gives a unique insight into future opportunities in both education and careers.
