Strengthening Regional Cancer Care Through Education • Amanda Kiss with her Certificate of Completion of her Master of Cancer Sciences from the University of Melbourne How I Was Awarded the Scholarship In 2023, I was honoured to receive the Tim Fischer Memorial Scholarship through the Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre (AWRCC) Trust Fund Education Program. This scholarship supported a fully funded place in the Master of Cancer Sciences at the University of Melbourne. Having worked at AWRCC as a dietitian since it first opened, I saw this as a valuable opportunity to deepen my understanding of cancer across multiple disciplines and further strengthen the care I provide to patients. My motivation for undertaking this program was to enhance my clinical skills and continue delivering the highest standard of evidence based care. I aimed to broaden my knowledge of best practice cancer care, contribute more confidently to multidisciplinary discussions, and develop research skills that could directly inform and improve patient outcomes.
