1Medical doctors,

Would you like to be featured in our Podcast series – 1 in Focus?

Our Podcast aims to shine a light on some of our favourite doctor’s careers, their experiences and explore some of their interests outside of the wonderful world of medicine. 

This is a great opportunity to share your stories, elevate your career, or share a cause you’re passionate about.

We’ve spoken to Dr. Jean-Yves Kanyamibwa an Emergency Specialist, we uncovered his backstory and discussed opportunities for doctors to go on a Medical Experience trip to Rwanda.

We’ve also had the pleasure of speaking to Michelle Wither a Senior Emergency and Retrieval Specialist. She has a wealth of experience in many rural locations around the country and a passion for animals. 


We’d love to hear about your experiences.

  • Do you have any special interests outside of work, or within another area of medicine?
  • Do you run another business you would like to discuss?
  • Would you like to discuss the trials and tribulations of working as a full-time locum?
  • Are you a parent and would like to discuss juggling medical work with family life?

  • Are you keen to discuss being a junior doctor in training and what that is like?
  • How have you worked in a certain location/country?
  • Have you moved to Australia from another country and would like to talk about that process?
    We could go on…
