Rescue missions and rural emergencies — Dr Jessica Martyn

Soaring to the heights of rural and remote medicine — and not
just in RFDS planes — Dr Jessica Martyn has enjoyed an extremely
varied and exciting career. Dr Martyn, who is now the Head of
Unit at the Port Augusta Hospital Emergency Department, has a
passion for emergency medicine and regional healthcare that was
shaped by her unique upbringing, hands-on medical placements, and
early career experiences. From growing up with a
search-and-rescue pilot father to working in Alice Springs, Jess
shares how the challenges and rewards of rural medicine have
fuelled her commitment to regional communities, and how living
and working outside the city offers unmatched opportunities and
lifestyle benefits.
