A Conversation with Dr Bo Bi // Rural Generalist

In the first episode of Resident Life I'm joined by Dr Bo Bi. Bo is a rural generalist in her final few months of training. She explains what the training program involves (03:18). Then we take a deep look at the mental health challenges of working in a rural community (16:35) and the stereotypes surrounding being a female doctor in a hospital (30:26). On a brighter topic Bo describes her passion for music and how taking a gap year influenced her medical journey (36:28). Finally we discuss some tips on how to fight fatigue and burnout (44:31) and Bo tell us about her upcoming role with integrating rural medicine with the UQ medical school (51:30). I hope you enjoy listening!
