And then getting the RDAA Medical Student of the Year Award was a super proud moment,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>The joy of working for rural healthcare<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Born in Nambour on Queensland\u2019s Sunshine Coast, Jasraaj grew up on a macadamia nut farm at Didillibah, a semi-rural locality in the Sunshine Coast Region. At school she undertook a voluntary work at a local children\u2019s hospital, which sparked her interest in the field of medicine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBeing in that hospital environment and seeing the doctors, nurses and the allied health teams all working together with families and patients to help them get better was inspiring.\u201d It left an indelible mark on the impressionable mind and Jasraaj realised that this is what she would like to do when she grows up \u2013 to take care of patients as a doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Later, when she went to medical school, she got the opportunity to be part of the Extended Rural Cohort. As part of the University of Melbourne&#8217;s commitment to rural health, the Melbourne Medical School launched a Rural Pathway option within the MD programme. Hailing from a semi-rural locality in Australia, Jasraaj calls herself \u2018a country girl at heart\u2019. She felt drawn towards this option and ended up falling in love with rural healthcare, becoming totally immersed in it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jasraaj completed all her medical training in rural areas since the second year of her medical degree, including some internship opportunities at the interiors of Shepparton, Wangaratta, Ballarat and Bendigo.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_37296\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37296\" class=\"wp-image-37296 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Upscales.ai_1713514551254-1024x577.jpeg\" alt=\"Indians in Australia | Jasraaj Singh | Global Indian\" width=\"740\" height=\"417\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 740px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 740\/417;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37296\" class=\"wp-image-37296 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Upscales.ai_1713514551254-1024x577.jpeg\" alt=\"Indians in Australia | Jasraaj Singh | Global Indian\" width=\"740\" height=\"417\" \/><\/noscript><p id=\"caption-attachment-37296\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jasraaj Singh while receiving the award<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt has been such a rewarding, eye-opening and exciting adventure.

There are sometimes complex social issues such as geographical isolation, issues with health literacy &#8211; and so there&#8217;s a lot to unpack.
