Destination Medicine© is thrilled to announce the release of its 100th podcast episode. This Podcast continues to inspire doctors and medical students to pursue successful medical careers in rural Australia.
Destination Medicine Podcast made the international stage at the recent WONCA conference held in Sydney last week. Our very own Dr. Pip Southwell presented on behalf of the Editorial Committee and her presentation was exceptionally well received by a packed room and she fielded a multitude of questions immediately after her presentation as well as at the end of the session.
The Destination Medicine Editorial Committee were chuffed to share the work done to date during the recent National Regional Training Hubs Forum. Held in Sydney in early June 2023, the Forum was attended by RTH representatives from all over Australia, as well as from the Department of Health and Aging, our funding partner.
