William Carey Rees (1845 – 1879): The First Australian Doctor
In 1867, William Carey Rees and Patrick Moloney were the first two medical students to graduate from an Australian Medical School. Prior to that date all medical practitioners working in Australia since the First Fleet in 1788 had graduated overseas, predominantly in England and Scotland. The short career of William Carey Rees before his premature death aged thirty three is described.
