Dr Hannah Hall, 22, started her first year internship at John Hunter Hospital, alongside 52 other medical graduates, on Monday. For Hannah Hall, her dream of becoming a doctor began when she was 10, when she watched on in awe as her little sister received life-saving treatment for a rare liver disease. “It is going really well so far,” the junior medical officer said on Monday, her first official day on the job under the NSW Government’s $107 million internship program. Out of a record 999 interns that started work across NSW on Monday, the John Hunter and the Royal Newcastle Centre received one of the largest intakes of medical graduates in the state, after Westmead and Nepean hospitals.
