25.01.2022 Curious about a career as a rural generalist? Meet Dr Anthony Rengel who is currently training with ACCRM. Q: What do you love about rural general practice?

In a single day, you may go from doing a diabetes cycle of care, to thrombolysing a myocardial infarction, giving end-of-life care to a grandparent to delivering their great grandchild later that evening.... There are few other jobs in medicine in which you are true generalist who gets to do it all.
