Congratulations to Madison Cooke (Emergency Department), who was awarded the Michael Kierce Prize on 27 June 2022 after completing her Graduate Certificate in Critical Care Nursing (Emergency) in 2021.
Madison was awarded this prestigious prize during the University of Melbourne’s annual Marian Barrett lecture.
The Michael Kierce Prize is awarded to a student who during the fourth year of a nursing course has demonstrated research excellence, clinical excellence and the potential for leadership in clinical practice research.
All three criteria must be accorded equal weight; a student’s clinical excellence and leadership in clinical practice is to be assessed on reports of the student’s supervisors and research excellence is to be assessed on a research subject undertaken as part of the course.
This is truly a huge achievement! Well done Madison.
