Student Series: Helen Smith — living and loving a local lifestyle

Helen Smith had been a pharmacist for 17 years when she decided
to take on a medicine degree. But with an aversion to cities and
a family firmly entrenched in regional NSW, studying in a rural
area was her preferred option. In this episode, Helen offers
insights into the application and selection process — emphasising
the importance of thorough preparation — and highlights the
advantages of working in the rural area that she loves close to
her family farm outside of Dubbo. And she encourages other
mature-age students to apply because life experience can help
make you a better student, and a better doctor.
