Our first teaching programme coordinator
Dr Janice Yeon was the first Programme Coordinator for our Pacific Dermatology Training Programme in 2019. During the COVID19 pandemic, Dr Yeon helped adapt the Training Centre’s Postgraduate Diploma in Dermatology teaching programme to a largely online and videoconferencing format which continues today.
Dr Yeon was also involved in the commencement process for the first Masters of Medicine (Dermatology) students at the Training Centre in Suva, Fiji. Dr Yeon is now part of the Australasian College of Dermatologists’ training programme.
