Dr Karen Pitman, Central Region

I have worked for 14 years as a Rural Generalist in the Pilbara, Victoria and rural British Columbia. As a Rural Generalist, I enjoy the variation, anaesthetics one day, ward work another and then emergency, working with a wide variety of people and working with all areas and levels of health care workers.

A typical day as a rural generalist is a combination of work and leisure! I like to keep the balance with exercise or sport or get out of town to where there is no phone reception with the family.
