Doctors in Training: Dr Brittney Wicksteed — Leading the way in WA

Always a country kid at heart who is training in emergency
medicine, Dr Brittney Wicksteed is already emerging as a key
leader in rural health in her home state of Western Australia.
She’s now WA Rural Doctors in Training Chair, as well as the Vice
President of the Rural Doctors Association of WA. It was Dr
Wicksteed’s journey through medical school that really helped her
to realise rural medicine was where she truly belonged. She
shares how growing up in small-town Western Australia, boarding
school in Perth, and early exposure to rural placements shaped
her path to emergency medicine, and she discusses the unique
hands-on skills, strong mentorship, and problem-solving mindset
that rural training provides — offering invaluable experience
that city-based trainees may miss.
