Past President Dr Sarah Coll Facebook Post [Extract]
Balancing patients, paperwork, and family life is something so many of us know all too well.
As a working parent in medicine, I see firsthand how the pressures of our profession don’t stop when we leave work—they follow us home. And too often, the voices of doctors navigating both career and family aren’t fully heard.
That’s why I’m standing for AMA Queensland Vice President.
I’m passionate about advocating for practical, family-aware solutions—flexible training and work structures, sustainable workloads, and a stronger, more connected medical community at every stage of life and career.
If you’re a medical mum or dad doing your best to juggle both worlds, I’d truly value your support.
Voting is now open—check your email (and junk folder) for your unique link.
