Mia Zaknich

Medical Education Officer (MEO) 

Mia Zaknich joined Karratha Health Campus in 2021, motivated and inspired by the memory of her two grandmothers who spent much of their careers working for WA Health.  Mia really enjoys supporting the rural generalists as well as medical students and junior doctors to make the transition from city to country. She hopes the Pilbara can be seen as a destination that will offer rewarding experiences to doctors wanting to make rural medicine a part of their future.
