ACRRM is a big family of doctors with a passion for the challenging and rewarding nature of diverse, rural work. Everyone knows everyone and there is endless support. I always struggled to choose which part of medicine I liked most, and ACRRM gave me the opportunity to practice a mix of emergency medicine, internal medicine, birthing and general practice. I also get to live rurally which I love as it means I get to come home from work to relax with my animals on the hobby farm. You will never get bored!
