Join us in welcoming Bridgette McKinnon, Resident Medical Officer (RMO). Bridgette will be a part of our team for the next 13 weeks whilst on her placement here at AMC.

“I grew up in the lower south east but moved to Adelaide to complete my studies. I attended Adelaide University and graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery in 2024.

I have been working in the Barossa Hills Fleurieu Local Health Network since graduation, mainly based at Gawler Hospital but occasionally venturing south of the city for some variety. I am commencing my hospital year of rural generalist training this year and will be working as a GP registrar from next year onwards.

My interests include procedural and emergency medicine and a bit of out of hours surgical assisting (frequently on the Gawler on call surgical assist roster for emergency caesarean sections).

Outside of work you will find me competing in triathlons and trail running events, travelling and participating in anything active, often combing the two where I can. I climbed Mt Kilimanjaro while in Tanzania in my graduating year and recently returned from a Ski trip to Japan.”

Outside of work I love to play basketball, go on camping & road trips around South Australia, and of course, drink wine!”
