Student Series: Georgia Goodhew on where her "heart really lies"
Description
We all owe something to our mothers, but medical student Georgia Goodhew is especially grateful to hers. When Georgia finally realised a girl could become a doctor, it was her mother who stood beside her in the face of many detractors. In this episode of Destination Medicine, Georgia shares her journey from growing up in Narrabri to pursuing her dream of becoming a rural doctor. Fascinated by the human body from a young age, Georgia overcame numerous challenges, including the lack of female doctors in her community, to achieve her goal. She discusses her path through sonography, the pivotal role of mentors, and the motivation behind co-founding Boots to Scrubs, an initiative for rural females aspiring to do medicine. Georgia’s story is a testament to hard study, community support, and the fulfilling opportunities in rural healthcare.
