Doctors-in-Training: Dr Ian Carey – being part of the bigger picture in Broken Hill

Broken Hill, with its wide-open spaces and desert sunsets, is
certainly Dr Ian Carey’s ‘happy place’. Dr Carey's journey to
medicine was influenced by his parents, both doctors, and his
early experiences living in Alice Springs. However, it was a
transformative overseas health internship that ignited his great
passion for medicine. Driven by a desire to make a difference, he
pursued a unique pathway to medical school, eventually finding
himself in the outback NSW town that he loves. He shares the
challenges and rewards of practicing rural medicine, highlighting
the close-knit community and the sense of purpose it offers. Ian
believes that rural medicine isn't just a job; it's a way of
life. His story is an inspiring one for any student or junior
doctor considering a career in rural, regional, or remote
medicine.
