A total of 41 newly qualified doctors are now completing their internships at our rural hospitals and one of them is Proserpine local Dr Alex Moore who graduated last year.
Moving to Townsville after high school to study medicine at the James Cook University, Dr Moore said that diverse learning opportunities and welcoming team environment are just two of the many reasons he decided to complete his internships in the Mackay and Whitsunday region.
"Growing up in a rural area you definitely have an appreciation of health care workers and how much they're needed in those smaller towns," he said.
Developing an early interest in science inspired Dr Moore to pursue a career that combined this discipline with a passion for helping people.
"The way the human body works has always fascinated me and being in a position to make a positive difference to the health outcomes of people is hugely rewarding," he said.
"My first core rotation is emergency medicine and I'm learning a lot through the variety of presentations and team of clinicians who work in the department."
Dr Moore will be heading to Bowen Hospital in October where he hopes to expand his experience and embrace a diverse scope of practice.
