Welcome to the first quiz of the Friends4Fiji LEARN program. These quizzes are intended to solidify your understanding of the concepts discussed each week, and are not assessed in any way. Please feel free to take each quiz as many times as you like, until you feel comfortable with the content covered.

As a reminder, eligibility for selection for Stage 2 of the F4F LEARN program requires completion of every quiz (only 10!), and participation in the online forums will be looked upon favourably. Stage 2 will involve students from Monash University and Umanand Prasad School of Medicine collaborating on individual research projects over the course of a year, with an aim to publication.

Additionally, should you complete all 10 quizzes, you are eligible to receive the officially verified Friends4Fiji LEARN certificate of completion.
