    Dr Jeremy Robertson a pilot, doctor and changemaker in aviation medicine

    Welcome to a new season of the Creative Careers in Medicine podcast!  In this episode, Dr Elise Putt engages in a conversation with Dr Jeremy Robertson, who is both a pilot and a doctor specialising in aviation medicine. Dr Robertson shares his journey, working as a Boeing 737 First Officer two days a week and an Aviation Medical Officer three days a week. His role as a First Officer which is the second in command of the aircraft, while as an Aviation Medical Officer that focuses on pilot medical checks and clearances. His career initially took him to Qantas, where he served as a Boeing 767 First Officer. However, after being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2010, Dr Robertson had to give up his commercial pilot medical certification, leading him to reevaluate his career path. Dr Robertson then explored medicine. He passed the GAMSAT and entered Sydney University to study medicine. His interests led him to pursue GP training for better control over work hours. Despite these challenges, he remained passionate about flying, maintaining his skills and eventually regaining his Class 1 medical certificate. Leveraging precedents from the UK and Canada, he convinced the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) to allow insulin-dependent pilots to fly under specific conditions, using Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs). His persistence not only reinstated his own flying career but also paved the way for other pilots with diabetes. His advocacy has positively impacted everyone who can now pursue their aviation careers while managing their medical conditions.

Developing her passion for storytelling and honing her interviewing skills.  After locuming across Australia, Dr Phang enjoyed the flexibility and eventually chose general practice for its long-term patient relationships.

She focuses on integrating her personal and professional life, particularly with upcoming family commitments. Finally, Dr Phang also reveals a variety of ambitions, from wanting to be an air hostess to owning a bridal dress shop, and later, a fiction writer inspired by her love for books like Harry Potter.
