16 April 2008

Medicine student Justin Sherwin has been recognised for his management skills with a Future Leaders Scholarship.

Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery student Justin Sherwin has been recognised for his outstanding academic and professional achievements by being awarded a $15,000 grant under the 2008 McDonald's Charlie Bell Scholarship for Future Leaders.

Created in memory of the company's late CEO, Australian Charlie Bell, the scholarship is designed to encourage people to realise their academic and professional goals.

Mr Sherwin was awarded one of two $15,000 grants.

"My ultimate goal is to assume a leadership position within medicine," Mr Sherwin said. Receiving this scholarship has meant I am one giant step closer to accomplishing my goals."

Apart from his final year studies, Mr Sherwin is an active volunteer who works extensively with third world countries. He is also involved in fundraising activities and seminars to share his overseas experiences.

"All of the research and volunteering I have undertaken to date in the developing world has been at my own cost, so financial assistance from the scholarship will assist me in continuing to make a difference," Mr Sherwin said.
