Student Series: “Aim for the stars and keep your options open” - Marni Mcfarlane

A devoted medical student who was raised in a tiny, tight-knit
community, Marni McFarlane is living her dream in outback NSW. In
this episode, Marni shares her journey from a rural upbringing on
the Eyre Peninsula to pursuing a career in medicine. She didn't
initially consider becoming a doctor until a teacher mentioned
it, and she decided to take the leap. Marni talks about her
pathway to medical school, her challenges with financial support,
and the importance of achieving a work-life balance. She
highlights the value of keeping your options open and speaks
lovingly about living and working in Broken Hill. With a heart
firmly rooted in the country, Marni hopes to return to her rural
community one day and help address the shortage of doctors there.
