Student Series: Rees Telford - Finding Medicine as a Destination

Rees Telford is a medical student on a mission to encourage
others to study and work in regional and rural Australia. Growing
up in Cairns and later studying on the Sunshine Coast, Rees
describes how his interest in medicine was sparked while at high
school by his desire for a constantly evolving career. Rees, who
is the first in his family to go to university, discusses how he
lucked into a valuable role as a medical scribe in an emergency
department. He also delves into his third-year research project,
which focuses on this podcast's impact on promoting rural general
practice. Rees's recommendations for making the podcast more
accessible highlight his commitment to encouraging medical
students to consider rural medicine. He emphasizes the importance
of work-life balance and advises listeners to maximize their life
outside of medicine.
