Dr Mary Johnston is an inspiring achiever in Rural General Practice in British Columbia, Canada. She took me under her wing as a Medical Student on elective and we have stayed in contact since.
This interview published by the Canadian Society of Rural Physicians explores her career giving insights and tips into how to meld medicine and life – she introduced childcare into conferences to encourage attendance!
Dr Brenda Masters is a Canberra GP, President of the AFMW (2024-2026).
Brenda grew up in rural SA, studied Medicine in Adelaide, and has worked in Practices around the country before settling in our beautiful National Capital over 20 years ago.
Brenda is keenly involved in the Medical Women’s Society of ACT and Region, a group who provide both networking and peer support. She believes that everyone should be given the opportunity to realise their full potential in life and applies this to both her work and her relationships.
Brenda enjoys gardening and singing in her spare time and tries to make the most of Canberra’s proximity to the snow.
