Dr. Kyle Eggleton is a rural general practitioner with extensive experience in emergency medicine and an interest in youth health, occupational medicine and forensic medicine. Born and raised in Waimā, he has moved around many rural areas of New Zealand, including Thames and Ruakākā. With two masters and a PhD under his belt and experience as a clinical director with Ki A Ora Ngātiwai, he has now returned to Hokianga to work part-time as a GP while being Associate Dean (Rural Director) at the University of Auckland.
In this episode, we discuss his interests moving from surgery, to emergency medicine, to psychiatry, through to his work in general practice and public health. We discuss his experience across occupational health and forensic medicine, the work-life balance he has with looking after his young whānau, and what drew him into rural general practice. Kyle explores the challenges facing our rural communities and the need for more rural practitioners nationwide.
