Eiryn Twidale - RDAA Medical Student of the Year 2025

Rural Doctors Association of Australia

Eiryn is a final year medical student from Griffith University who sought out the opportunity two years ago to relocate to Kingaroy, in rural Queensland, to undertake her training as part of RuralMedEd’s LongLook program. She’s also been working as a nurse at the local hospital. As you’ll hear, she and her fiancé Luke jumped boots and all into local community life from their first week in town…and they’ve made an enormous impact.
