Doctors in Training: Dr Rhys Harding — Embracing remote medicine in the extreme

Doctor Rhys Harding has obtained extraordinary medical experience
for a young doctor by throwing himself into the deep end in some
of the most remote places on Earth. From Nepal to the volcanic
southern Vanuatu island of Tanna, to a stint for the Royal Flying
Doctor Service, Rhys has lived the dream of working as a solo
doctor, with all the variety and challenges that that entails.


He’s now finishing up his rural and remote specialty training in
the indigenous community of Nhulunbuy in East Arnhem Land in the
Northern Territory. But none of those places compares to his most
challenging assignment. It was during his 18-month trip as a solo
physician in Antarctica, responsible for everything from surgery
to counselling, that Dr. Harding really found his feet.
