Six young doctors got up close and personal with the concepts of rural and remote at a special tour sponsored by Kimberley Pilbara Medicare Local, WAGPET and Pilbara Regional Advisory Committee( RAC).
The six sponsored registrars, Dr Shannon King( PGPPP, from Shelly), Dr Chung Jian Tan( a Hopsital PGY 4 from Perth), Dr Leonard Timoney( a hospital PGY 2, from Swanbourne), Dr Jenny Donnelly( GP Registrar, from Beaconsfield), Dr Andrea
Van Rijn,( GP Registrar, from Albany) and Dr Kate Rieben( a hospital PGY 2, from Fremantle), were on the Pilbara Rural and Remote Weekend.
There they discovered the realities of the resources industry at BHP Billiton’ s Mt Whaleback and some of the issues faced by medical staff at the Puntukurnu Aboriginal Medical Service and Parnapajinya community clinic. And all this was topped off by participation in Rural Health West’ s annual Rural and Remote Retrieval
Conference at the Karijini Eco Retreat.
“ The weekend aims to showcase the Pilbara to registrars and medical students with a view to attracting talent to the region. It also provides them with the opportunity to meet local health professionals working in the region,” CEO of KPML Chris Picket said. �
