Life is full of infinite possibilities! If you have a medical degree, your future is not confined to the hospital wards.

How can you choose between all the things you want to achieve while you’re alive? Is it possible to manage your time so you can be both a doctor and a professional abalone diver?

Yes! In fact, you can take an exciting proportion of your career outside the realm of health care.
