Pepe Mifsud — Building confidence and backing yourself in
Listen on:
Pepe Mifsud is the first to admit that he didn’t give himself enough credit. Throughout his childhood and formative years he’d watched his GP mother take care of their community, and he’d seen the way she and her colleagues were respected. But Pepe just didn’t think he’d ever be able to get into medicine himself, so he embarked on a commerce degree. Medicine, however, kept calling him, and he decided to study and sit the GAMSAT. Raised a rural boy on WA’s Margaret River, he chose a university with a rural focus: The University of Wollongong, with a view to undertaking a long-term rural placement.
