Story

“Being older definitely helped me realize what I want to do with life, and increased my willingness to work as hard as I could to make my dream a reality.

"I undertook work experience at Launceston Pathology where I worked in areas of haematology, blood banking, immunology, histology and microbiology, I spent the longest time in Haematology , I enjoyed the area of micro the most as a medical scientist because it was the most hands on."

Brad has been given an Australian Government funded medical school placement and has been given the opportunity to study medicine and then practice for 6 years in areas where there are fewer doctors than the national average.

"One interesting feature of the scheme is that if as a bonded doctor, I decide that I really like a particular place, I can stay as long as I want even if the area no longer has a shortage of doctors."
