Medical Student, QLD
Attending the RANZCP Congress 2024 as a PIF scholar was an incredible and transformative experience. As a final-year medical student at James Cook University, my journey into psychiatry began with a deep-seated interest in understanding the human mind and helping those grappling with mental health challenges. This Congress provided a unique platform to delve deeper into this passion.

The PIF program was exceptionally well-organised and meticulously planned, making every session both informative and engaging. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enhance my insight into psychiatry. The sessions covered a broad spectrum of topics, ranging from Balint group discussions, insights into rural psychiatry, subspecialties, and Q&A sessions with trainees, all delivered by leading experts in the field. 

One of the highlights was the opportunity to interact with skilled psychiatrists, whose wealth of experience and dedication to the field were truly inspiring. These conversations significantly strengthened my motivation to pursue a career in psychiatry. Additionally, networking with attendees provided valuable connections and a sense of camaraderie that I believe will be invaluable in my future career.

Overall, the RANZCP Congress was an enriching experience that not only broadened my knowledge but also deepened my commitment to the field of psychiatry. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity and would highly recommend future PIF scholars to seize the chance to attend this remarkable event.
