Min-Jee Wilks

I am an advanced trainee in General Paediatrics and Community Child Health with the Royal Australasian College of Physicians. I am looking to develop competence and confidence in child protection and clinical research with Starship Foundation Research Fellowship with Te Puaruruhau in 2025. I will be looking for a regional paediatric fellowship in 2026 with hopes to become a regional general paediatrician.

My work values include being servant-hearted, seeing the good in others, advocating for those who are in vulnerable positions, and journeying alongside others. Whilst carrying the deep heaviness which may come with the work of child protection, I hope to maintain a positive outlook for the tamariki, rangatahi and whānau I meet. I bring enthusiasm, motivation and collaborative skills to my work which will serve me well in research and multidisciplinary settings.
