Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital Intern of the Year

Congratulations to Dr Marrion, who was recently awarded the Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital (SCGH) Schneider Award for Intern of the Year for 2025.

The award is presented to a first-year doctor who displays great care and compassion in the practice of medicine, based on nominations by our consultants, registrars, allied health and nursing staff.

Consistently nominated each term in 2025, Dr Marrion was recognised for exceeding expectations across every domain, with his leadership and communication skills standing out in particular.

SCGH General Surgery Consultant Dr Hodder said that after being a consultant for 20 years, he has not come across a better intern and Dr Marrion was clear candidate to win the prize.

"Dr Marrion had always made extra time to do extra teaching for the medical students and nurses, and all allied health members immensely enjoyed having him around," Dr Hodder said.

"All patients knew his first name and continually asked for him.

“His nominations put him in the top percentile and it was a pleasure to have him work in such a busy unit. He is a gold star candidate."
