She is one of the senior clinicians in the menstrual management clinic. In addition to her clinical role, she is also the DRANZCOG (Diploma of Obstetrics) training supervisor, and is also actively involved in training and mentoring registrars and medical students. Mei is a firm believer that teamwork and commitment are essential in improving patient care.
She currently coordinates and runs the Vic PROMPT Obstetrics emergency training program, and is a member of the practice improvement committee at Monash Health.
