WA Country Health Service District Medical Officer in Anaesthetics and Emergency Dr Marcus Urmoneit is supporting Pilbara communities with an all-rounder approach to healthcare, diving headfirst into rural generalism.
Originally from South East Queensland, Marcus was initially uncertain about his future career path, opting to study pharmacology after high school.
It was then as a hospital pharmacist, Marcus decided to make the move into medicine.
After completing his studies on the Gold Coast, Marcus moved to WA, taking up training with the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) in both Bunbury and Roebourne.
Driven by a passion to serve remote communities, Marcus soon set his sights on becoming a full-fledged rural generalist.
