Third year medical student at University of Western Australia, WA
The insights into psychiatry, from learning about the versatility of the career, in being able to travel anywhere in the world with a pen and a paper to do your job, to getting a sense of the community of driven doctors around the Australasian region, whether it be in clinical psychiatric roles or in governance with the RANZCP Board.
My personal passion for psychiatry originates from an interest in men’s mental health and engaging young men with the mental healthcare system. The breadth and range of adolescent psychiatrists at this year’s Congress and the ability to network and enquire about these clinician’s scope of care and passion was a highlight, as well as being able to discuss the future of adolescent psychiatry through breakout talks throughout the Congress. Receiving a scholarship to attend the 2023 RANZCP Congress was an incredible opportunity to investigate my passion and explore the psychiatry field as an interested student.
