What are your favourite TROHPIQ experiences?
Experiencing life in Theodore through the TREES observership was my most enjoyable experience. It was fantastic to see and assist in rural medicine first-hand. The community was so welcoming- I got a real taste of rural life from attending the trivia nights to visiting a nearby cattle property. It was a lot of fun! The networking nights and skills days that TROHPIQ ran were fantastic to mingle with new people whilst having a good time learning from skilled professionals.
