About Vidhushan Paheerathan

Email: training.qld@acrrm.org.au

Dr Vid (Vidhushan Paheerathan) is an ACCRM registrar currently based in Far North Qld. A graduate of James Cook University, he began his medical career in Mount Isa and now works across Atherton and Innisfail. He will be completing his AST in Obstetrics at Gympie Hospital in 2026.

Vid is passionate about rural medicine, advocacy and ensuring fellow registrars feel heard and supports throughout their training. As a Qld RLO, he's excited to connect with trainees across the state, have real conversations, advocate for what matters on the ground and champion their needs.

Outside of work, you'll likely find him hiking, camping, 4WDing off the beaten track, or trying to win a round of pub trivia (with varying success).
