Hi Anthony, many thanks for the very clear and useful information. As you indicated, the Medical Board says on its website "This pathway does not lead to registration as a specialist in Australia". But where exactly does the board stipulates that the experience accumulated during that time will not be taken into account when evalutating the candidates experience for a anther pathway (for example Specialist Pathway)? I coudn't find that info anywhere.
Hello Dr Anthony. Thank you for the video. I want to apply for a 1 year fellowship through this pathway. I think I need to show my IELTS score. However im confused about which type of IELTS exam should i take. There is ielts academic ielts ukvi , general , life skills etc . Kindly share
Hi like all your videos ...this one is very informative too.. just wanted to know if i have to look into each hospital for the short term position and apply individually or apply through AMC website... Thank you😊
+Aarthy grace Jeganathan hello the best place to start is the jobs boards for each State and Territory. I have listed them here advancemed.com.au/internationaldoctors/ The AMC does not advertise positions.
Hi Dr. Anthony. I would like to apply for STT in cardiac electrophysicist. Mainly I would like to top up my skill in more complex procedure. I went through hospital websites and could not find any job opening related to STT. Or normally they do not advertise for the position? Should I contact the department directly?
You are confusing a registration pathway with a job posting. The hospitals are not going to specifically write Short Term Training Pathway in their job postings (or most will not). You should be looking for jobs that are title: Advanced Trainee, Fellow, Senior Reqgistrar.
Well there's lots of costs to consider. Including the cost of your own time. If we are talking just fees. Then the Colleges usually charge a few hundred dollars to process your application and you will be up for a few hundred more to verify with the AMC and get registered. So $1,500 to $2,000 AUD as a rough estimate.
Hi Anthony, would you please clarify more about ways of obtaining a training post for short term specialist pathway as the process is not that clear to some extent? I am an overseas pediatrician from Middle East. Thank you in advance.

Hi prof anthony, i got hired thru this pathway -short term specialist pathway. What are my chances of being able to work long term after finishing this pathway? Are the options( other pathways) not so complicated?
congratulations. I am also considering applying. What is the timeline with regard to feedback? How long did you wait from applying until you got the job? And what specialty did you go for? Really inspiring to hear.
Hello Anthony, many thanks for your videos. I'm not sure to really understand the difference between Registrar, Senior registrar and Fellow. Could you help me ? Thanks !
They are just different grades of seniority as a specialist trainee. Registrar is the starting level. Senior Registrars are usually in their last year of training. Fellows are usually doing some additional training prior to working as a consultant.
Hi Prof, I have received a job offer for a provisional fellow in Sydney. My job is starting in 3 months' time. Which pathway do you suggest- short-term training or specialist pathway.
You won't have enough time to apply for the specialist pathway. Short Term Training is the best pathway and likely the one the service is wanting you to apply for.
Hi prof. Anthony thanks for your very helpful videos, I'm family medicine specialist in my country Iraq, would this short training pathway be suitable for me if I would like to shift my career to Australia permanently? Or it would be better to go through PESCI pathway for this purpose?

Hi. I’m an MD from the Philippines and already finished residency in anesthesia, and will be getting my specialty board certification next year. I plan on getting fellowship training in Australia and take the SST pathway. I would like to know if getting into anesthesia fellowship programs is competitive in Australia.

So , would I get the training in my speciality ? And what if I need to train in a subspecialty ( for example , spine surgery as a subspecialty of orthopedics ) is it available ?
I'm not sure I understand your question. This program is available for you to specifically and directly apply for jobs that fit your specialty interest or need. Availability of subspecialty posts will depend on how competitive these posts are.

I’m a senior ophthalmology resident (final year in my residency) from the middle east.. I’m interested in doing a fellowship/ subspeciality within ophthalmology in Australia (it’s called comprehensive ophthalmology).. usually ophthalmology specialists and senior residents go and do a fellowship abroad and they get paid by our hospital in our country even during the period when they’re doing a fellowship abroad.. and then finish the two years and get back and work in the same hospital as before.. so im not clear on why i need to get a job post first?!
Technically you are not supposed to be using the short term pathway to do the other pathways. But many do. I’m not aware of any situation or reason why you would go from standard to short term.

Hello Dr I have finished my MD and my finished my internship and haven't begun my residency ,can I apply for it as a GP ? Is this short term training paid or for free? Thanks in advance
I don’t understand your question sorry. Fellowship jobs are not formal fellowships in Australia ie they don’t lead to FRACP or similar. They are usually down for extra experience prior to becoming a consultant.

Hi Anthony. Do you think that if I apply for the Short Term Specialist Pathway and do a period of training in Australia, it would help me afterwards in anyway for being considerated as suitable for the specialist pathway?? Would that period of training in Australia count?

@@nicolasvittone3586 officially the Short Term Training here does not count as time or formal experience. However, it remains valuable as it is hard to not acknowledge a good reference from a local Fellow whom you are working for and the fact that a hospital here has chosen to hire you means something as well.
