The General Health 'Funding Partner' PhD Scholarship program was introduced in 2004 to enable Rotarians the opportunity to support research in their chosen health area. It involves a 3.5-year commitment to a donation, from the Rotary partner. All scholarships also include a contribution from the university at which the successful application conducts their research.
Megan Smith is completing a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Education at the University of Melbourne, researching the mental health care pathways that primary schools initiate to support their students. As well as being a qualified Occupational Therapist (OT), with a Bachelor of Science in OT from Curtin University, Megan recently earned a Master of Public Health from the University of Melbourne, and holds a Graduate Diploma in Mental Health Science, also from the University of Melbourne.
Megan has extensive clinical experience as a mental health OT, primarily in adult community mental health services, and chose to complete further training in public health due her desire to improve mental health outcomes at the population level.
