    Serious Illness During Residency: Questions and Advice

    Hi Guys, So for some context - I am currently a resident working in a large metropolitan hospital. I have recently (as in, yesterday) been diagnosed with a pretty serious condition, which may be life limiting. I want to take the rest of clinical year off to focus on my own health, appointments...

    Jumping between hospitals - BPT in Vic

    Hey guys, Im currently interning at a metro hospital and want to go to another site for bpt1 than my current hospital network. I know its obviously applicant and health networl dependant but how loyal are networks to their current interns and is it impossible to jump around? I've heard...

    If this were the case, the candidate in question would originally be unmatched but would eventually get an internship in 2nd or 3rd rounds

    Locuming As A Career Choice

    Ah okay thanks for that! I am willing to travel anywhere, very much a free spirit. I may do it for a while and gather some paeds experience before doing GP, who knows. Cheers!

    Locuming As A Career Choice

    So I had a fairly rough journey through med school, with a lot of sickness, family and financial stresses and the like which made it next to impossible to get through. Somehow I made it but I really can't imagine doing any more training or exams. I'm an intern at the moment and considering...

    Rehabilitation Medicine

    Thanks for the link, I've had a read of that already. I was looking more for advice and insider insights into the specialty. Sorry for using the word "offshoot" - didn't intend for it to sound pejorative (since I am considering it as a career). I just meant that registrars often gain entry...

    Rehabilitation Medicine

    Hey guys, I just started my internship and have been eyeing GP and physicians training as future vocational pathways. One of my co-residents mentioned rehab medicine as an option, and whilst I know that its an off shoot of the RACP, I don't really know much about it. Any rehab...

    Fear about the future - training/research/CV

    Is the same true of psychiatry? Most people who get on dont have research presumably?

    Fear about the future - training/research/CV

    So I'm about to commence my internship at a large metropolitan hospital network in Victoria, and am pretty ambition in regard to what I want to do. I'm currently considering physicians training, with the hopes of pursuing a more general medical area (gen med, palliative care, geriatrics etc)...

    Internship: Victoria Explanation and Questions

    Yeah I agree with pi - probs won't be relevant. Also, as someone who had a similar issue, I think its probably in your best interest not to overthink the 'what ifs' as much as the 'what can I dos'. Head down, engines on and work on getting those references :-) I think the biggest mistake...

    Internship: Victoria Explanation and Questions

    Yeah that's the vibe I got from them - basically, yes as a MBBS CSP perm resident/aus citizen you will definitely get an internship. But without 2 references, your application is greatly weakened and so you will just need to settle for whoever takes you, as opposed to having more choice in the...

    Internship: Victoria Explanation and Questions

    Hey hey! I have a similar problem (secured 1 however, which is nice). Anyway, I ended up giving the PMCV a call and sure enough, you do not need references to participate in the match. All CSP students are guaranteed an internship. However, no references + Z of <2.0 will likely result in...

    Internship: Victoria Explanation and Questions

    Well I got a Z of 4.0... still no luck with references *cries tears of blood, but not even real blood - shitty low budget horror movie blood* Hopefully it'll be alright... Much angst

    Internship: Victoria Explanation and Questions

    I just realised - the internship guarantee is only in place if you have a complete application. Would an application without references be considered incomplete? Resulting in a lack of job offer?

    Internship: Victoria Explanation and Questions

    1 of my GP supervisors in Yr 4 was never there, so i sat with a new GP almost every week (big practice of like 15+ GPs), and my 2nd GP supervisor was really brusque,would roll their eyes and get annoyed at even signing attendance sheets; I kind of don't want to ask them. ...Sigh I may just...

    Internship: Victoria Explanation and Questions

    This may potentially be a rather pessimistic question, but what are the chances of getting an Internship in Victoria (from Monash) if I can only secure 1 reference through PMCV? I basically had no luck in my first rotation, and I will be going overseas for the 2nd, leaving only the 3rd to get 2...
