We are pleased to have Rachel continue into her second year of internship with the VSS Underwood team, and look forward to her continued growth and contributions to the team. 

Jo is very excited to be starting as a rotating intern with the Underwood team in February. Jo is finishing my DVM degree at the University of Adelaide, and grew up in Hong Kong before moving to Australia for her studies. During Josephine's studies, she found herself particularly drawn to surgery, which she is keen to explore further and learn with the team at VSS. When not in scrubs, you'll likely find Jo trying out a new recipe or hiking on the trails!
