A great case study of Dr. Lydia Nunes has been added to the My Medical Career case studies section.
I came to Australia in 1994 after I completed my training in anaesthetics. I was offered a job in the hospital emergency department because of my anaesthetic training. I loved emergency department work . I loved the people contact. I became ambivalent about continuing anaesthetics. I decided to take up general practice as a specialty.
I was very impressed with the quality of care in australia. I had to sit all my exams again- the AMC and Fellowship exams. With hard work I was able to pass them first go. I secured a place in the training program for general practice and obstetrics and gynaecology. I chose general practice so I could support the wider community.

A fantastic case study of Dr. Katriona Ross has been added to the My Medical Career case studies section.
I got into medicine later in life. I had a career in a pathology laboratory prior to medicine. I did a science degree and was a rower at national level and trained for the Canadian Olympic team. I then did a masters degree in sport physiology and my mentor advsied me that I would make a good doctor and to consider medicine. My athletic career was over in my late twentys. At age twenty nine years I started my medical training course and graduated at thirty three years. After I graduated I wanted to be a generalist and not to close doors. I like the idea of staying general.
