Reflection
Dr Alexander Diaz
Postgraduate Year 2, VIC
I had the privilege to attend the RANZCP Congress with the aid of the PIF program, which made my time in Canberra comfortable and worry free. This experience opened my eyes to a future in psychiatry both in other states and in New Zealand. The large group setting provided a beneficial simultaneous social, academic, and networking experience, leaving me feeling energised and inspired. This is an experience that you can’t normally find while in medical school or as a pre-vocational doctor.
The academic sessions were intellectually nourishing, especially the keynote speeches. The scholarship also allowed me to present my research without financial burden, which I hope will help me stand out in future job searches.
Attending the RANZCP 2024 Congress gave me a platform for personal growth. I was given a window into various career pathways and subspecialisations within psychiatry. Through informal discussions with new mentors, it became clear to me that this was the area I wanted to work in. This experience has left me determined and passionate about a career in mental health.
