 What makes a medical student or intern want to become a rural generalist? And what does that journey look like?A rural generalist is a doctor who provides healthcare to regional, rural or remote communities. They are trained in primary care, emergency medicine and an advanced skill to meet the health needs of their rural community. This is in one of a number of disciplines, with the most common being obstetrics, palliative care, emergency medicine or anaesthetics. Rural generalists are a vital piece of Australia's healthcare system, bridging healthcare gaps in areas where there aren't those other medical specialists.In this episode, we ask three doctors who are early on in their rural generalist career, what their role is like, from the good days to the more challenging ones:Dr Casey O'Connor - PGY6 doctor at Latrobe Regional Hospital, working in palliative care. She is part of the  Royal Australian College of General Practitioners training program.Dr Rachel Sultana -  PGY2 doctor at the West Gippsland Health Group in the paediatric ward. She is on the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine training pathway.Dr Will Hardy -  PGY2 doctor at Bairnsdale Regional Health Service. He is on the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine training pathway.For more information about the study and training opportunities across regional Victoria, head to the Monash Rural Health website.The North West Victoria and Gippsland Regional Training Hubs have commissioned this podcast to help medical students and junior doctors learn more about training and practising medicine in regional Australia.  Find your nearest Regional Training Hub here.

The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners says racism is affecting how people use healthcare services. As we mark the International day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the nation's doctors want government support to measure how big the problem could be. - ราชวิทยาลัยแพทย์ทั่วไปแห่งออสเตรเลีย (RACGP) ระบุว่า การเหยียดเชื้อชาติกำลังส่งผลต่อวิธีที่ผู้คนใช้บริการด้านสุขภาพ ในขณะที่เราร่วมรำลึกถึง วันสากลเพื่อการขจัดการเลือกปฏิบัติทางเชื้อชาติ แพทย์ทั่วประเทศกำลังเรียกร้องให้รัฐบาลสนับสนุนการให้ความสำคัญต่อปัญหานี้

Według opinii Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, rasizm ma ogromny wpływ na sposób, w jaki ludzie korzystają z usług medycznych. W związku z obchodami Międzynarodowego Dnia Eliminacji Dyskryminacji Rasowej, lekarze w całym kraju chcą wsparcia rządowego, aby przedstawić ogrom problemu.

Today, we're speaking to Dr Victoria Tzortziou Brown, a GP and Reader in Primary Healthcare and Health Policy at Queen Mary University of London, and Vice Chair for External Affairs at the Royal College of General Practitioners.Title of paper: Language of primary medical qualification and differential MRCGP exam attainment: an observational studyAvailable at: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2024.0296To the authors' knowledge, this is the first study on the association between the language of the primary medical qualification and attainment in the Membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners (MRCGP) examination. It shows that undertaking undergraduate clinical training in a country where the native language is not English can statistically significantly and negatively affect examination performance in MRCGP exams. The study also shows statistically significant positive correlations between Multi- Specialty Recruitment Assessment, International English Language Testing System, and Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board scores and the MRCGP exam scores; this suggests that past performance in these assessments can help with the identification of those international medical graduate registrars who may find tailored support beneficial.

Avis continues reading Henry Stephen Salt's A Plea for Vegetarianism – Chapter 5 Medical Men and Food Reform (Are Doctors prejudiced against vegetarians?)   “The commonest obstacle to Food Reform, as indeed to every other Reform, is prejudice…The influence of medical men, both on public and private opinion, is unquestionably very great, and at present nearly the whole weight of this influence is thrown into the scale against us. What answer are we to make to the question, so often asked—'Why are so few doctors Vegetarians ?'” (H.S. Salt 1886) Music: Dalai Llama Rides a Bike by Javier “Peke” Rodriguez.

Animal products are the only source of dietary cholesterol; they are also the primary source of saturated fat in our diet, which is associated with higher blood cholesterol levels.  Helps prevent type 2 diabetes  Approximately one in three American adults has prediabetes—a risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes.   Kidney health In the United States, about 30 million adults have chronic kidney disease—and most aren't aware of it. One in three American adults are at risk for chronic kidney disease. Risk factors for kidney disease include diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, and family history.  Boosts immune system function  A healthy plant-based diet can help strengthen your immune system to aid in fighting viruses and help you recover more quickly from illness.   Supports a healthy weight Maintaining a healthy weight can reduce the risk of serious health problems. Substituting more plant-based foods in place of meat can help contribute to a healthier body weight.  Lowers greenhouse gas emissions  Nearly 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from the production of meat, dairy, and eggs—more greenhouse gases than the world's entire transportation sector—cars, trucks, planes, trains—combined. Eating more plant-based foods can help reduce emissions associated with meat production.  Saves water  Meat, particularly beef, has the highest water footprint of all foods. Eating a more plant-based diet has the potential to decrease agricultural water use by 50%.  Prevents deforestation  Livestock production uses 75% of the Earth's agricultural land. Shifting to a more plant-based diet reduces deforestation while decreasing agricultural land use by 80%.  Reduces species loss Livestock production is the biggest human contributor to species decline and has led to an over 60% decline in species populations since 1970.   Meatless Mondays Helps build healthy habits  Research suggests that people are more open to trying healthy behaviors at the start of the week. Monday offers a weekly opportunity to “reset” and get back on track. Studies show that people who restart a healthy habit at the beginning of the week are better able to maintain progress over time.  Fosters discovery of new foods Use Meatless Monday as an opportunity to explore new types of recipes, ingredients, and cuisines. Experiment with unfamiliar foods to find new favorites.    Saves money Foods like beans, lentils, and tofu are cost-effective protein sources that are typically less expensive than many types of meat, seafood, and poultry. One study found people saved 16% on food costs by switching to a plant-based diet.  Expands culinary skills  With new ingredients comes the need for new cooking methods. Try using different techniques like braising, air frying, stuffing, and puréeing to make meals more exciting.   Strengthens a growing movement Meatless Monday is active in more than 40 countries and available in countless schools, companies, and communities around the world.  Photo: www.twospoons.ca Recipe “Creamy Vegan Mushroom Pasta” https://www.twospoons.ca/creamy-vegan-mushroom-pasta/

As it gets harder to locate specialist clinics with available slots, Australian doctors are turning to social media to help book appointments for their patients. Thousands of doctors have joined Facebook referral groups created to link healthcare providers and secure appointment times. In 2020, while she was on maternity leave, Adelaide General Practitioner Caitlin Sum launched a social media page directed at doctors only. What was a hobby for Sum has now become the main resource for doctors looking for appointments with specialists. The “Adelaide GP Referral Network,” as the Facebook page is called, counts more than 2,000 South Australian doctors. And it's all about saving time. As a lot of specialists have stopped taking new patients, using social media to find one instead of doing endless internet searches or asking around makes a lot of sense. “I think it bridges that gap and allows us to communicate with each other better and get to know each other and communicate directly,” says General Practitioner Alex Main. “We would all love to spend less time doing admin, and more time seeing our patients,” says Dr. Sum. In the state of Victoria, 800 members have joined a similar social media page. According to the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, there's more and more pressure on general practitioners (GPs). The costs they face are increasing and waiting times for patients are growing. In this context, social media has become crucial for doing things like booking a specialist. “GPs in the medical profession are hyper-connected, and social media and those discussion spaces, just like everyone, is a really important resource that we use to connect,” says Royal Australian College of GPs president Dr. Nicole Higgins. These social media groups can only be joined by registered doctors. In order not to breach the Medical Board's code of conduct, members can't upload clinical photographs and patients can't be identified. Sum says that because of the clear value of the service offered by the page, doctors have been abiding by the rules. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

In all the grief media I see this is something I never see spoken about and it can be quite isolating. I'm sure other people who have lost parents have experienced similar things. I'm 21 now and this is something I still struggle with. I can feel guilty for these attachments as I feel like I'm forgetting my own mum. But knowing these people can't really replace my mum or be that for me.' Anita is joined by Teigan to talk about these issues and also by Julia Samuel, a psychotherapist, the author of Grief Works. Why can women's haircuts cost more than men's, at the same salon? One listener has asked us to find out. Anita is joined by Caroline Larissey, chief executive of the National Hair and Beauty Federation, a trade organisation for the hair, barbering and beauty industries, and equality lawyer Elizabeth McGlone, who has short hair.Listener Kitty Dowry wanted us to take a look at so called 'risky' sports, and to encourage us all to look at them in a different way. Kitty is a climber; she has been doing it for 10 years and wants to see more women give it a go, even those who might have written it off for fear of it being too dangerous. Kitty joins Anita, as does Hazel Findlay, a professional climber and coach. Listener Ameya is a 20 year old singer-songwriter. She joins Anita to talk about her music, explain how her songs represent her neurodiversity, and discuss why it's important for her, as a British-Indian woman, to break into the mainstream and raise awareness of autism.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Rebecca Myatt
