Don't Just Take Our Word For It

“This rotating internship has provided a fantastic opportunity to learn and work with leading specialists in multiple disciplines, and to get involved with research. You also get to work with an incredibly experienced nursing team. I would highly recommend this internship to anyone interested in specialising or wanting to improve their knowledge to take back to first opinion practice!.”

Georgina Gallow – Rotating Intern at Anderson Moores

"I started at Paragon Referrals when it first opened in 2017 and have progressed through the rotating internship and surgical internship to become surgery resident. The broad knowledge gained through my internships has been invaluable and has allowed me to progress to my current position. As an intern you have direct mentoring and support with scientific writing and publishing, active involvement in complex cases and regular in house and external teaching. Having had the opportunity to work with multiple cohorts of our interns it is incredible to see how far their skills and confidence have developed by the end of their internship. Aside from the wealth of clinical expertise, my favourite part of working at Paragon is our team, the people are awesome."
