When medical student Dinesh Palipana suffered a severe spinal injury in a car crash, he was told his dream of becoming a doctor was over. Now he's Queensland's first quadriplegic doctor, working at one of the state's busiest hospitals. Dr Palipana tells his story in his own words.

Students need the ability to study and continue progressing toward their goals especially while life happens. Students are often juggling working and studying with more of what life throws at us, it’s safe to say a level of flexibility while studying is helpful. The effects of living life during a pandemic with more lockdowns than not mean we need solutions to keep things moving in and out of lockdowns. You won’t miss a beat at FYI Education & Training as during lockdowns all of our studies move online.
