Eileen Tan

As a fourth-year medical imaging student and student representative, I had the opportunity to meet the Imaging Associate team at the 2025 Deakin Third-Year Open Night. I was genuinely impressed by their warm, inclusive culture and the team’s dynamic growth. It’s clear that they’re passionate about what they do and open to fresh talent, qualities I truly value.

With hands-on experience in general X-ray, fluoroscopy, mobiles, theatre, and emergency imaging, I bring a solid clinical foundation and a strong commitment to patient-centred care. I pride myself on being compassionate, attentive, and respectful in all patient interactions. Fluent in both English and Mandarin, I communicate effectively across diverse patient populations and collaborate seamlessly with multidisciplinary teams.

Throughout my placements at various hospitals, I’ve consistently received positive feedback for my clinical performance. I’m also proud to have received a recommendation letter from my tutor at Box Hill Hospital, affirming my potential as a future radiographer.
