Dr Kendall Sharpe is a Dermatologist on the Gold Coast, having just completed her training.
Kendall is an accomplished Doctor, Researcher, Educator and Clinician. She is passionate about environmental sustainability, holistic medicine, ethical and evidence based skin care and procedures.
We loved hearing Kendall's views on what drew her to Dermatology, just how long the journey is to where she is today and what the sacrifices looked like along the way. We also gained some insight into Kendall's love of art and furniture and how this has translated into 1. curated information used in her patient consults and 2. some excess chairs.
Kendall shared insights into the influence of Social Media (and the rise of the Celebrity Doctor) on Dermatology and how this translates to her own practice.
We finally pinned her down and she was worth the wait.

Dr Bec Jenkinson: Holding space in the Consumer Researcher divide.
It was a pleasure to have Dr Bec Jenkinson on the podcast who is a maternity consumer advocate and researcher. After more than 10 years of volunteer work as a maternity consumer rep, Bec completed a PhD exploring refusal of recommended maternity care. She went on to co-lead the development of Queensland Health’s Guideline for partnering with the woman who declines recommended maternity care.
Bec shared with us her personal journey as a consumer of obstetric and midwifery care: an experience many of our listeners will resonate with in some way, shape or form. We also heard of Bec's journey to find where she fits which has found her currently in her first "real research job" as a Qualitative Research Fellow with the Australian Women and Girls Health Research Centre at UQ. Bec provides clarity around how we can best have consumers as part of our conversations: an important viewpoint we must always seek to hear.

Dr Gerben Keijzers is adjunct Professor of Emergency Medicine. His research revolves around topics relevant to clinical practice in critical care, with special interest in sepsis, appropriateness of antibiotic use and respiratory medicine.
We loved chatting with Gerben about what makes him so curious and how this has led to a research career testing how less can be more. Gerben explains what is behind his perceived direct feedback style.
Importantly, we also heard what makes Gerben tick, such as his love of his dogs and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Gerben explains how being an "Emergency Medicine" Doctor is the last thing he would introduce himself as.
An inspiring, curious and honest conversation, we hope you enjoy.
