ENCORE: Doctors in Training: "I want to do the best I can" – Dr Grace Nelson, rural intern and life-long learner
Episode 21
Tuesday, 13 January, 2026
We're relaunching a few of our fave episodes for our fresh new crop of Interns – all the best for your next adventure! It was sage advice from an English teacher that saw Dr Grace Nelson achieve her aspirations. She was counselled to not only celebrate her good grades, but also work hard to shrink the margin between those good marks and a perfect score of 100 per cent next time. Since primary school Dr Nelson had dreamed of becoming a rural doctor, and, through university, she realised the profession — with its intellectual rigour, contact with people and mission to help and to cure — was a perfect fit for her personality. So, she immersed herself in regional training, and after gaining experience in several centres, landed in Dubbo, which she says “ticks all the boxes.” Now, not only is she gaining a wide variety of clinical experience, but she gets to work with a close and varied team in the relaxed regional environment that she has always loved.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
