AboutHow we workContact

Places

Where doctors travel, live and put down roots.

Training moves doctors around: a college in one city, internship in another, a posting nobody chose. We write about the places that shape a medical life, and about travelling well on very little leave. Useful, specific and honest about cost; never a postcard.

  • Travel

    Short leave, long weekends and trips worth the effort.

  • Living

    Homes, cities and the choice of where to settle.

In preparation · Living

The town I did not choose

A rural posting began as something to survive. It became the place I measure other places against.

In preparation · Travel

Four days of leave

Trips that repay a short break, chosen for how little of it you spend in transit.

Pieces marked “In preparation” are being reported and written. Have an experience we should hear about? Write for us.
