    This is a very interesting podcast with the story of so many of the ubiquitous IMGs being told one by one. As Srishti says, the journeys are so similar and yet so different. This is a voice that tells the stories so well.

  • A great listen for any doctor considering the move down under !

    A fantastic series providing authentic experiences and heartfelt insights from doctors across the medical sector. Dr Duttas passion and interest in those she speaks with is heartfelt and inspiring. A must listen to series for anyone considering the leap but daunted by the many unknowns an international career move.
