A tree change with RACS’s New Fellow Rural Place

As a new Fellow, Dr Zainab Naseem was hoping to achieve a more comfortable work-life balance when she came across an advertisement for the New Fellow Rural Placement – or NFRP – on the College’s website. The NFRP is an initiative delivered by RACS through the Specialist Training Program, funded by the Australian Department of Health.

Dr Naseem was at Sydney’s Royal North Shore Hospital at the time when she applied for the rural placement at Griffith Base Hospital, in the Riverina region of central New South Wales. Although it was hard to adjust at first, Dr Naseem and her young family have learned to love the regional city.
