DESCRIPTION:Tonight our guest speaker is Dr Michael Beech. Michael is a ge
 neral practitioner who has worked in suburban Melbourne for many years. He
  decided to have a late career change and has spent the last two years wor
 king in Alice Springs. He started in a conventional general practice clini
 c\, but for his second year in Alice worked for the aboriginal health serv
 ice CONGRESS. They are an outstanding organisation and have clinics in Ali
 ce Springs and on various communities. Many of the patients he saw and tre
 ated were people who live on communities\, but visit Alice Springs for med
 ical care. He was also involved of course with aboriginal people who live 
 in Alice Springs and in the town camps. From a personal point of view he s
 ays he had quite a steep learning curve as the central Australian Alice ab
 original population have a completely different set of medical issues to t
 he people he was used to treating. A lot of their problems are based aroun
 d nutrition poverty and the difficult Issues for them of adjusting to whit
 e society.  Michael will be speaking about these issues and looks forward
  to also sharing some photographs he took of the beautiful desert and McDo
 nald Ranges.   Year 12 Berwick College\, Ryan Speller will be coming alon
 g to tell us about his National Youth Science Forum experience. He was the
  RC Berwick sponsored candidate and the experience was held over 10 days i
 n January.  The program was changed to virtual due to the high number of 
 COVID cases. It will be interesting to learn from Ryan how it went and if 
 any physical program is planned for when case numbers settle down. The Nat
 ional Youth Science Forum is a keenly sort after program for students obse
 ssed with science. It aims to give students a head start with building a n
 etwork\, selecting the right university pathway\, giving a preview to futu
 re job opportunities in science as well as delving into the exciting world
  of scientific discovery.
