Competition for places was fierce, with 80 people applying for 16 vacancies.
Blayney’s Jess Fardon is one who’ll spend the next two years in intensive training.
“I’m so excited. I’m a country girl, Sydney is a bit much,” Dr Fardon said.
“It’s a dream come true to be back in the Central West. I’m hoping not to see too many familiar faces as patients.”
American Nicholas Otte is returning to Orange after completing a placement at the hospital during the course of his studies at Sydney University.
Dr Otte said it was a suggestion from a former colleague which led to him studying medicine in Australia and after two years he decided he wanted to stay.
“I’m excited for a change. I was in Sydney’s RPA and it was quite fast-paced. I’m looking forward to some hands-on learning,” he said.
