Doctors In Training: From marketing to medicine – Kalgoorlie’s Dr Anna Western

It's certainly not a common trajectory — from an established
career in graphic design and marketing to medicine — but that’s
the extraordinary career path of Dr Anna Western, a Rural
Clinical School of WA alumna now working in that state’s
Goldfields region. Anna discusses her choices and the
determination that was required to undertake medicine while
raising three young children. She reflects on the pivotal moments
that led her to medicine, the challenges of balancing study with
family life, and the unique opportunities and rewards of rural
practice. Anna says open spaces, a vibrant community and scope
for professional growth in Kalgoorlie has transformed and
enriched her life and career.
