Dr John Kramer is a practicing GP and medical educator in Woolgoolga, NSW.
Teaching medical students and trainee GPs has been a core part of his Beach Street Family Practice practice since the early '90s: John has supervised over 60 GP Registrars, and has seen several hundred students come through the practice. As Adjunct Associate Professor at the UNSW Rural Clinical School in Coffs Harbour, and a board member of the member governance committee of the NSW Rural Doctors Network, he remains active in rural and remote medicine networks and training.
His main clinical “love” is ADHD, and he spends much of his clinical life enmeshed in supporting individuals with co-morbid ADHD and ASD. Since starting Beach Street Family Practice in 1981, his practice has expanded enormously; this has enabled him to reduce his workload, but he has no plans yet to retire.
