Student Series: Ashlee Nichol — Living her dream to be a rural GP

A local emergency doctor called her his “apprentice.” A
determined young woman from a country town, who had wanted to be
a doctor since early childhood, had done a first aid course so
that she could help out at local football games. Many years
later, Ashley is a fifth-year medical student at the University
of Adelaide who says anyone can follow their dream to become a
doctor so long as they have the ambition and tenacity. Now on a
placement in outback Broken Hill, she’s a great advocate for
working in rural and regional Australia and strongly recommends
the mixture of relaxed lifestyle and broad medical experiences.
