About this listen
On the show today we chat with Dr Tatum Bond, a Ngan'gi woman and emergency specialist about her journey into medicine, her love of remote and rural medicine, camping and her dogs. We also have a chat her important work with the Royal Flying Doctors servicing remote Queensland communities.
Tatum is a proud Indigenous FACEM, whose heritage hails from the Ngajanji tribe, the rainforest people from the southern Atherton Tablelands. Tatum grew up in Tannum Sands in Central Queensland but has always felt at home in Cairns. She recently fellowed in Emergency Medicine and splits her time between the Cairns Base Hospital and a retrieval position with the RFDS based in Cairns. She has always felt a strong need to give back to community, and hopes that her voice can help to Close the Gap. She is the 7th identified Indigenous FACEM in Australia and the first in Queensland. In her spare time she loves going camping with her 2 dogs, putting her feet in the sand and the water and connecting to country.
