Jillian Teubner Memorial Prize keyboard_arrow_up

Jillian Teubner's career at Flinders spanned 27 years. She was appointed as a Senior Demonstrater in Clinical Biochemistry in 1975 and, at the time of her death from cancer in 2002, she was Associate Professor in the Medical Education Unit of the School of Medicine. In this latter role, as Chairperson of the BMBS Admissions Committee, Jillian's work in designing and implementing the admissions process for the graduate entry medical course was of national and international significance.

This Jillian Teubner Memorial Prize has been established in Jillian's memory, from contributions by family, friends, students and colleagues.

The prize may be awarded annually by the College of Medicine and Public Health to the international student who has achieved the highest combined aggregate mark in Years 3 and 4 of the MD.
