ACRRM students, registrars and Fellows have one thing in common - a desire to See More, Do More and Be More. Whether they are working in central Victoria, on the rugged Western Australian coastline, in the tropics of North Queensland or the farmlands of New South Wales and further afield, they are committed to being the best Rural Generalist they can, supporting rural and remote people with excellent health care.

Before settling in Bairnsdale at his rural general practice more than 39 years ago, he consolidated his remote medicine skills working abroad in an Indian hospital for refugees. When not upskilling in medicine or working at his general practice, Dr Urie takes a specific interest in cross country skiing and gardening, as well as spending time with his family.
With extensive skills in obstetrics, anaesthetics and all aspects of general practice, an intense passion for teaching and mentoring medical students and junior medical staff, Dr Urie's immense dedication to improving equity of access to services in rural communities, especially Bairnsdale, has been his driving force.
Dr Urie received an ACRRM Honorary Fellowship Award at the Rural Medicine Australia Conference for providing a significant contribution to ACRRM and the field of rural generalism on Friday 14 October 2022.
Why ACRRM?
I have always been a strong supporter of the College, as I believe it represents the significant benefits of rural practice and its unique challenges. I have great memories of training rural doctors through ACRRM, and it is a joy to see them continue to flourish in their practice.
