Clinical pharmacology is a specialty like no other. The opportunities to engage with colleagues across all specialties and all levels of experience, to make an impact at the population through to the individual patient level, to participate in diverse and interesting national, state and health district medicines policy discussions and combine all this with another specialty of your choice is genuinely unique.
