What does the Faculty’s vision Transforming Health for Everyone mean to you as a resident doctor?
Working in the emergency department means meeting people where they are — often on one of the worst days of their lives — and providing the best care possible. Whether it’s reducing pain, addressing a medical condition or guiding patients through a complex healthcare system, we strive to deliver equitable, compassionate care to everyone who walks through our doors. Being part of a team that supports all patients in these critical moments is the most rewarding aspect of being an emergency medicine resident, and how I see ‘”Transforming Health for Everyone” in practice every day.
What’s your favourite part about training in the community you’re in?
The team I work with makes training in Victoria truly outstanding. Our staff physicians create a safe, supportive learning environment where residents can excel. Our nurses and allied health professionals consistently provide compassionate care, even in the most challenging circumstances. My co-residents demonstrate remarkable work ethic and good humour, proving time and again that they will become outstanding physicians. Additionally, despite long wait times and the discomfort or fear our patients may experience, many still take the time to express their gratitude. The people have been my favourite part of training in Victoria.
