A USC Medical Laboratory Science graduate has been promoted from technician to scientist at Gold Coast University Hospital (GCUH) within months of gaining both her associate degree and a Bachelor of Biomedical Science.
“I’ve just received an offer to join the GCUH haematology/transfusion department as a scientist,” said a delighted Chelsea Gillett, 24, formerly of Buderim.
Chelsea, who attended her USC Sunshine Coast graduation ceremony for both degrees in April, has been working at the hospital since January, when she was selected for one of 12 positions with the Pathology Queensland graduate program.
Three other positions in the statewide Pathology Queensland program for 2021 went to graduates of the two-year USC Associate Degree in Medical Laboratory Science, designed to fast-track students into careers as technicians.
