"It's easier to work in a rural setting... relationships gets built up, you're not picking up the phone to talk to a stranger. That makes a whole difference. As a specialist, physicians are grateful to have you in this setting. You can really learn your population and develop your service as you would like."
Episode 5 puts rural psychiatry in center stage, guided by Dr. Rosemary Abu, a General Adult Psychiatrist with a special interest in Old Age Psychiatry. She is currently practicing in Smithers, and completed her residency in Ireland. Dr. Abu thoughtfully reflects on the ups and downs of practicing psychiatry in a rural environment, and the unique challenges that it poses.
The host of this episode is Polly Ng. This series would not be possible without support from Dr. Clare Beasley (UBC) and the UBC Department of Psychiatry.
