Local Examination Prizes

Uhr Clarke Bursary

For the top Queensland Phase 2 OSCER candidates in both Clinical Radiology and Radiation Oncology
This bursary commemorates the contribution of two Queensland Foundation College Fellows – Dr (later Sir) Clive Uhr and Dr Burnett Clarke. Drs Clarke and Uhr served together at the 10th Australian General Hospital during World War II and, following the fall of Singapore 1942, were both incarcerated in Changi Prisoner of War Camp until the end of the war. Both doctors, working in dreadful conditions with virtually no supplies, provided life-saving medical treatments to fellow prisoners.

The winner of this bursary receives AU$5,000 to assist them in attending an accredited overseas conference of Fellowship.
