  • The Heart of Remote Healthcare with Claire Arundell
    In this episode we explore the evolution of remote and rural healthcare in Australia with Claire Arundell, a Rural Generalist Anaesthetist from country Victoria and Chair of the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) Council. Claire shares her journey from completing her medical degree at Monash University to becoming an ACRRM medical educator, course facilitator, and passionate advocate for the next generation of rural generalists. Working across primary care and hospital settings in some of the most remote parts of Australia, including external territories like Norfolk Island, Claire combines advanced medical expertise with a deep connection to the communities she serves. Beyond her clinical and leadership roles, Claire’s story is as adventurous as it is inspiring. She and her partner live in a camper-van, driving slowly around Australia, where she spends her spare time hiking, scuba diving, and even pretending to surf. Her passion for rural health advocacy is matched by her dedication to showing future health professionals the incredible opportunities in rural medicine. This episode is part of our series showcasing the brilliant talent and impactful work of ACRRM members, who are driving excellence, innovation, and equity in rural and remote medicine.

  • From Antarctica to Tonga: Faye Lee on Conservation Medicine in Namibia
    Note: We apologise for any varying audio quality in this episode.

  • The Secret Medicine Cabinet: How Chimpanzees Use Plants to Heal with Elodie Freymann
    Join primatologist Elodie Freymann as she reveals fascinating discoveries about how wild chimpanzees self-medicate using forest plant Alstonia boonei. Through nine months of field research, Elodie observed chimps selecting specific barks, leaves, and other plant materials to treat wounds and infections - practices that often overlap with traditional human medicine. She discusses groundbreaking findings in zoopharmacognosy (animal self-medication), the importance of preserving these forest "medicine cabinets," and what chimp healing behaviours can teach us about new medicinal compounds. From pro-social care among chimps to the intersection of traditional healing knowledge, this episode explores the remarkable intelligence of our closest animal relatives and their sophisticated relationship with medicinal plants.
