Rural Trainees share their College Entry Success Stories, Part 1

Every specialist pathway is different, and in this double bumper episode you'll hear from doctors training and working regionally about how they successfully achieved entry to the college training program of their choice, and how they knew this was the specialty for them! These speakers were recorded at a careers night organised by members of the Bendigo Health HMO Society and supported by the North West Victorian Regional Training Hub, Monash Rural Health.
