Edwina Fry is right where she belongs
Listen on:
Edwina Fry was on work experience with a country GP when she witnessed a baby being born. It was a turning point in her life. She says she developed new respect for the human body and started to consider becoming a doctor herself. Now a final-year medical student studying with Deakin University, she came to medicine via an undergraduate degree and entry via the GAMSAT, which proved a hurdle, but not an insurmountable one. Edwina is undertaking a rural placement at Warrnambool in western Victoria, where the lifestyle is a definite attraction, and where the variety of clinical work, she says, will make her a better physician.
