HANNAH Bates is getting her first taste of medicine in a clinical setting as she undertakes her First Year Observership in Rockhampton as part of The University of Queensland Doctor of Medicine Program.
After one week observing at the Rockhampton Base Hospital, Ms Bates said the experience was invaluable and put a future rural medical career on her radar.
“Being in a smaller hospital means I have the opportunity to learn directly from senior doctors and actually interact with patients,” she said.
“Rural doctors make do with limited resources, which creates a challenging but rewarding working environment that is extremely valuable and educational to be a part of.”
