"The Doctor of Physiotherapy integrates knowledge into clinical scenarios and is not just rote learning of facts. Clinical placements really put what has been learnt in classes into practical context which require integration of knowledge."
Chodron started the Doctor of Physiotherapy in 2019, after completing the Bachelor of Biomedicine in 2018, and Trinity College Foundation Studies in 2015, all at the University of Melbourne. She comes from Kuching, Sarawak in Malaysia.

Why the Doctor of Physiotherapy?
I wanted to have a career in the field of health sciences since high school. I really wanted to help people in any possible way since a young age and I found that helping people to get back to what they can do before morbidity is really fulfilling.
The Doctor of Physiotherapy integrates knowledge into clinical scenarios and is not just rote learning of facts. Clinical placements really put what has been learnt in classes into practical context which require integration of knowledge.
I plan to work a few years in Melbourne to gain experience before travelling back to Malaysia or other countries to have more exposure within the field.
Why the University of Melbourne?
