Flying high — Dr Scott Lewis’ journey home to regional SA

If you are planning to practice in an area the size of South
Australia’s Eyre Peninsula, it helps if you buy a plane and learn
to fly. That’s how Dr Scott Lewis brings crucial GP and
anaesthetist services to his huge patch of rural and remote
Australia. In this episode of Destination Medicine, Dr Lewis
describes his rewarding and varied professional life. He
discusses the impact of his early experiences, the significant
impact of his mentor, and the pivotal role rural medicine played
in shaping his career. He highlights the challenges and rewards
of providing medical care in small communities, and how his
diverse roles — spanning clinical practice, teaching, and
emergency services — have allowed him to make a lasting impact on
rural healthcare.
