In this episode I spoke to Dr Sarah Moore when we caught up at this years Rural Health West Conference in Perth.
Sarah is a procedural GPO in Busselton and lead medical coordinator at the Rural Clinical School in Busselton. Sarah is also an early career researcher who is currently completing her Masters at UWA, investigating the impact on an online Mindfulness training program on the stress levels of medical students. Sarah enjoys mentoring medical students and junior doctors with regards to their future training and career plans, as well as supporting them to optimise their wellbeing using various self-care practices. Sarah is married with two primary school aged daughters and enjoys yoga, reading and spending time in nature.
Sarah was one of the inaugural Rural Clinical School of WA students in 2002 and has continued her grand adventure on the medical road less travelled blazing trails in Rural WA. She talks about her approach to her career, putting her hand up for leadership positions and forging a vibrant path - finding love, starting a family while maintaining an impressive passion and energy that is contagious to everyone she meets. Sarah shares some wise advice for junior doctors and talks about her experience with mindfulness for self care. She also puts out a call to arms for all of us to become advocates for action on climate change.
