My career
Born and raised near Freistadt (Mühlviertel, Upper Austria), I completed my A-levels at the BG/BRG Freistadt in 2014. The following year, I began studying medicine at the Medical University of Innsbruck. During my studies, I gained valuable practical experience at various placements both in Austria and abroad.
In 2021, I began my comprehensive training as a general practitioner at Innsbruck Regional Hospital. I successfully completed this training in 2025 with my clinical placement under Dr Harald Paul in Igls.
Having completed this comprehensive and practical training, I am now looking forward to providing patients with expert and personalised advice in the fields of general practice and travel medicine.
Interests and personal commitment
As well as my passion for medicine, music plays an important role in my life, and I play in various bands. I also enjoy a wide range of sporting activities – whether it’s hiking, ski touring or cycling.
One of my particular passions is travel: getting to know other cultures and people not only broadens my personal horizons, but also enhances my understanding of medicine. This interest helps me to prepare patients as well as possible for their journeys and to treat them with understanding and empathy.
Dr Laura Riepl and Reisemedizin Tirol look forward to helping you embark on a healthy and safe travel adventure.
