The event brought together students from diverse scientific disciplines for an evening of friendly competition, teamwork and social interaction. Participants competed in teams of five, testing their scientific knowledge through engaging trivia questions while enjoying food and refreshments. The event provided an opportunity for students to connect with peers, build friendships and engage with the wider Monash science community.

The MPS O-Fest is a welcoming social event designed to introduce new and returning students to the Monash Physiology Club and its community. It provides an opportunity for students to meet their peers, learn more about the club, and get involved in the activities and opportunities available throughout the year. As part of the event, students can participate in Physiology Jeopardy, offering a fun and interactive way to test their knowledge, challenge their friends, and win prizes.

The MPS Sausage Sizzle is a casual, community-style social and fundraising event. It provides an informal setting for students to relax, connect with peers, and engage with the club community. In addition to being a social gathering, it supports fundraising efforts for the club, allowing us to deliver more exciting events that are more beneficial for our members.

Postgraduate Pathways in Physiology Panel Night is an informational event hosted by the Monash Physiology Society, designed to support students in exploring their options beyond an undergraduate physiology degree.

Panelists will share their experiences of different postgraduate programs such as Honours in Science, PhD research, Master of Clinical Embryology, Master of Speech Pathology, and Master of Radiation Therapy. The event aims to give students a clearer understanding of potential career directions, the realities of postgraduate study, and the steps involved in pursuing further education.

Day 1 (Aug 26, 6–8pm) features the Unit Reviews Panel, where high-achieving students and prize-winners will share insights on key physiology units (PHY2011, PHY2032, PHY2042, PHY3072, PHY3181, PHY3171, PHY3202, PHY3111, and PHY3990), along with study strategies, research opportunities, and an Honours perspective. 

Day 2 (Aug 28, 6–8pm) presents the Medical Student Panel, covering advice on excelling in undergrad, navigating the medical school application process, preparing for MMIs, and tackling the GAMSAT. Panellists will discuss challenges, reapplication strategies, and comparisons between Melbourne and Monash pathways, as well as how physiology undergrad skills translate into medicine. This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from experienced students, ask questions, and gain practical tips for both academic success and future career planning.

Students honed key networking skills, from crafting standout elevator pitches to speed friending and engaging confidently with industry professionals. The session concluded with an insightful Q&A featuring Physiology graduates, including Medicine students, Paramedics, and Industry Professionals, who shared valuable advice and personal career insights.

In this event, professionals from diverse fields shared their career journeys and how their background in physiology shaped their paths. Past speakers have included a medical student, a public health consultant, a MedTech entrepreneur, a neurophysiologist, and a cardiac technologist.

As the Monash Physiology Society’s inaugural event, this session featured high-achieving physiology students who shared their experiences, insights, and advice on navigating the physiology major at Monash.
