Dr Maryanne Balanzategui Prize for commitment to Rural Medicine

The Dr Maryanne Balanzategui Prize was established in 2023 to honour Maryanne Balanzategui. Dr Balanzategui had a background in nursing and dietetics before undertaking her medical degree with JCU, graduating in 2018. Maryanne was committed to rural general practice and was shaping her path through postgraduate training with JCU to be able to provide rural communities with exceptional care. The fund aims to support a perpetual student prize named in Dr Balanzategui’s honour to recognise her commitment to rural medicine.
