Description

A frightening experience at the age of 16 prompted Jack Howard to study medicine. He was on a country road when his grandfather experienced chest pains, and Jack didn’t know how to help except to drive at speed to the nearest country hospital. With limited guidance and no real medical role models, Jack was forced to navigate the complexities of medical school applications alone and says he “went in very naively.” His story underscores the profound impact of rural medical practice and the importance of resilience and community support. His story shows how personal experiences can shape a fulfilling career in rural healthcare.
