Experience

"I was officially recognised as an emergency medicine specialist in Australia in November 2008, and have been really enjoying using my skills in this environment.  There are many of the same challenges we face in the United States, however, it's the opportunities, the wonderful support and friendliness from the team that makes any challenges surmountable".

American Emergency Specialist, Dr Peter Rizzo is positive about his transition to Logan Hospital, Queensland.

"The benefits of working with Queensland Health - in lifestyle, in clinical exposure to new conditions, and in exposure to new practices and new ways of working - would be invaluable to any staff specialist considering time out, or a more permanent change".

ED Staff Specialist, Dr Larry McGuire enjoys the training and education he receives with Queensland Health.

"After 10 years of treadmill-like shift-work in Elko, Nevada, I felt the need to grow.  So, the 'Adventure Down Under' was an exciting challenge to pursue.  What started as a six month working sabbatical has turned into a full Australian citizenship, a fellowship with the Australasian College of Emergency Medicine and a new life rich in learning and growth in Queensland's Sunshine Coast".

Dr Bruce Campbell, MD, FACEP, Deputy Ambassador Australia enjoys his lifestyle on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.

"There is no where else in the world that I wanted to go to other than Queensland.  Working for Queensland Health I have seen interesting cases including trauma, snake and spider bites.  I have also received more supervision, more experience and more training that I would ever have had in the UK".

Principal House Officer, Dr Emma Jones values the experience she has gained with Queensland Health.
