"My advice for First Nations students considering medicine is GO FOR IT! It is such a rewarding feeling not only learning and developing your own skills and knowledge but knowing you will have a career dedicated to helping others".
"I strive to establish trust and respect within the community and with individual patients and sometimes prioritise long term rapport building over short-term biological goals that I learnt during training. I listen and try to understand my patient’s stories, perspectives, priorities and wishes and collaborate with them to achieve their desired outcomes”.
"I never really had a plan to step into leadership, but I think part of being a Rural Generalist is being prepared for a challenge."
"Now go out there and make a difference and remember you’re not “JUST” an intern… you are “THE” intern".
“I am on a perpetual steep learning curve and hindsight is both humbling and a gift. You have to find what works for you and your family and there is no absolute way of doing Life!
"Rural generalism is a unique and rewarding path. Embrace the opportunity to help a community where your impact can be profound".
