OVERVIEW<br />
Take the opportunity to realise your potential as<br />
a doctor whilst enjoying the offerings of South<br />
Australia: the home of wine, festivals and Farmer’s<br />
Union Iced Coffee (to get you through those<br />
lengthy shifts). Adelaide’s dynamic marriage of<br />
cosmopolitan mecca and small city vibes is both<br />
vibrant and convivial, ensuring an unparalleled<br />
experience in the “20 minute city”.<br />
Boasting the modern Royal Adelaide Hospital, a new<br />
internship program in Whyalla, and a healthcare<br />
system focussed on emerging healthcare practices,<br />
it would be “heaps good” to spend your first year of<br />
out med school here in the Festival State.<br />
To ensure you secure that work-life balance<br />
(emphasis on life), the Barossa Valley and Adelaide<br />
Hills wine regions are less than 1.5 hours drive<br />
from the city. Or you could spend your weekends<br />
exploring the Flinders ranges and beautiful coastline<br />
- with a “pie floater” always within reach for your<br />
indulgence.<br />
