Student Series: George Kirolus — A dedicated journey to rural medicine

Medical student George Kirolus was sold on medicine as a
youngster, when, with wide eyes, he watched the calming impact
his GP father had on a family with a sick child. In this episode,
George shares his journey to medicine via a rural student
pathway. He discusses how medicine's combination of diagnostic
skills, teaching opportunities, and community impact have
resonated with him, and have been a fulfilling result of a
challenging application process. He emphasizes the value of
balance between study and well-being, especially in the context
of being fit and able to provide empathetic patient care. George
also outlines the advantages of a rural lifestyle, including a
strong sense of community, easier commutes, and reduced costs of
living.
