Rural GP

As part of the sixth year course, we have to do a term of rural General Practice. The faculty makes us do this for two main reasons - to try and encourage some of us to do rural medicine again in future (perhaps as a career) and for our own education, ie allowing the medical students the opportunity to observe the differences between medicine practiced in the city and the country.

I am going to be posted in Australind, which these days is almost a suburb of WA's second largest city - Bunbury. It's not really going to be a very rural experience, not compared to some people who are travelling as far away as Kununurra or Kalgoorlie, but it should be a useful experience nonetheless.

Of course, this means updates to this site will be less frequent, depending on the availability of internet access and of course, how busy I am.

Hopefully I'll be able to get some nice pics!
