ENCORE: Doctors in Training: Painting your own picture - Dr Pippa Kensit

We're relaunching a few of our fave episodes for our fresh new crop of Interns – all the best for your next adventure! For Pippa Kensit, medicine always beckoned, especially because public health is where her heart is. A passion confirmed early on as she travelled abroad, and then through rural and reginal Australia. But it was only after becoming a nurse and going through her own back surgery, that she finally decided to follow her dream of becoming a doctor. Pippa’s story is one of incredible focus, passion and determination along an unconventional journey - a picture pained all her own. Now a Junior Doctor at Orange Base Hospital in NSW, she gives the best of herself to help others in need and to strengthen communities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
