David Thibaud

I'm a final year medical student, and a dedicated team-player. At Waikato Hospital, I've honed my medical knowledge, communication, and clinical skills. I'm committed and resourceful.

• Teamwork: I love to build supportive environments and foster team success.
• Communication: Clear, concise, and effective.
• Thoroughness: You can count on me to deliver good-quality work.
• Dedication: I go above and beyond for my team.

• Fast Learner: I absorb specialty-specific knowledge, master new skills with minimal guidance, and contribute from day one.
• Medical Knowledge: Deep medical knowledge reflected by academic performance.
• Clinical Skills: Including rounding, discharging, ordering investigations, and communicating with other specialties. Built by strong engagement in rotations.

• Software Mastery: Effortless fluency with all technology.
• Hardware Excellence: I instantly fix devices - projectors, printers, and medical devices.
• Organisational Skills: I use systems to prioritize and complete a busy workload.

• Cultural Aptitude: I build connection with the support of my travels and my engagement with Te Ao Māori.
• Patient Education: I love breaking down complex medical topics to communicate them better.

I play tennis, and the guitar, and love to spend time with my amazing family. I’ve helped in community groups from the Cue Haven Forest Restoration Program to Companion Volunteering at Auckland City Hospital. I’m am a friendly member of Auckland Evangelical Church and their small-groups.

When I get the chance, I head out tramping with friends, and have completed the Duke of Edinburgh Gold award along the way. On a rainy day, I love learning about software and data visualisation, and have completed projects like the heat-maps of COVID patients for my GP practise, and ‘The 500 dose-adjusting interactions between Common Medications’.
