Such an honest and true feedback about the Australian Specialty Training match. Real story: a few years back I was working as an SHO on the Cardiovascular ward, I see my Med School classmate on the ward, telling me he is already Cardiovascular Reg in the Specialty training program. Little did I know the head of the department is his father. In reality it is almost unheard of to get into the program as a JHO. Father can make magic work. Not what you know but who you know.
Moving away from family is such a huge factor that I think people really underestimate. I spent seven years away from home and wasn’t able to go back during foundation training both because of Covid and leave. The loneliness was crazy sometimes. Yes, you have other people there but there’s nothing quite like a hug from a family member. I’ve been home over a year now (and away from the NHS) and sometimes it still doesn’t feel real to not have that much stress on me. You do what’s best for you and I’m glad you’ve done just that! Hope training is treating you and your partner well!
I did the opposite Aus -> UK, been almost four years! I do miss my family and old friends but I feel like theres still so much of Europe to see and every big city in Australia feels the same to me now, maybe in a few years I'll start feeling the pull of home but taking it week by week! I'm jealous you had a clear deciding factor, indifference in the worst for such big choices
Good on you. As someone who came here and ended up staying for 15 years before moving back I think you have chosen to move back at the right time. Despite my best efforts to remain connected with friends & family back home, it hasn’t been enough to keep me connected when I moved back and I’m now coming back to Australia.
As a medical student, always love to hear perspective because I will be part of a workforce soon, and also with the lipstick comment, try lining your lips first with a lip pencil colour close to your skin tone and then use a lipstick shade you like so it isn’t so harsh. I used to love lipstick, then i went to lip gloss and i cant say goodbye lol
I find it strange how people can have so many opinions and suggestions on how others should live their life. I think people should do what they want and live their life like they want! :) So you do you! :)
I can relate! I thought "no big deal, I'll just make new friends!" First of all, that has proven harder than I thought. And, even when you make friends, it's not the same as having old friends you've known for 1-30 years. You just can't replicate all that history easily. Plus, being from a different culture, I just always felt different.
Just some friendly feedback. You are beautiful and the mascara and what you put on after that were, to my eyes, superfluous and detracted from your beautiful natural look pre-mascara. I love your honesty and naturalness in your videos. Good luck with the your career.
Thank you for this video! I found it very insightful as a med student in the UK considering the move to AUS. Hypothetically, if all your close family moved to AUS, do you think you would have stayed? Or do the other unfortunate aspects of nepotism, training pathway, etc outweigh that?
You must've missed her video where a a British Indian colleague in Australia OFFERED her a placement on a training program pending her application. Nepotism is everywhere, seen the House of Lords recently?
Family and friends is ultimately what life is about. It’s a huge distance and FaceTime etc can never replace daily/weekly contact. UK is lucky to have you back!
Speaking as an Aussie, I think the sheer scale of our country and how difficult it is to travel around makes the isolation worse. It's simply not possible for me to fly over and spend a weekend with my parents in a different state, for example, because our airlines are beyond shit and it's $$$. We live less than 800km apart!! Over a third of all flights are canceled or moved at the moment, so your chances of even getting there aren't great.
Hello 👋 I work in the United States of America as an anesthesiologist’s assistant, where we do 99% of the work of an anesthesiologist’s assistant, and our degree is a bachelor’s degree. We bring the patient and stay at the anesthesia cart, and after treatment we monitor the intensive care equipment (ICU). Can I work in Australia 🇦🇺? Do you have information about working in this field? I hope you have a great day.
that honestly sounds quite niche. I am a little familiar with the Aus system having gone to school there. AFAIK, anaesthetic assistants hold at least a Master's degree in Australia. So it's difficult to know if your education + work experience would be considered equivalent. Best to reach out to the regulatory body there and ask.
Hi Doctor, I am asking this for my fiancé. Can you please help us with the pathway for MS graduates to Australia. He is currently doing his MS in Orthopedics, in India. We are looking for the fellowship pathway. We spoke to several people, but they are not sure how to take on the fellowship pathway. Can you please help ?
Hello taneja. Your honest reviews are really appreciated. It helps us to overcome many hurdles. I request you to help me with this. I completed my internship in india. I am interested in doing specialisation in general medicine. I need to know about the time and efforts taken to become a resident in Australia. I would be really helpful for all of us. Thank you and wish you good luck.
hi,I am a third year medical student from egypt and I was enquiring about the desirable criteria or more specifically how did you get a pgy3 postion in surgery in australia?

Tell that to your nan when she's lying on a trolley in A&E for 8 hours, getting pressure sores, because there simply isn't enough staff to look after her. Are you thick or you just knocked your head about on the lash?
@@drsurinatanejathe sexism on this video has blown my mind. I used to think that it's only black girls that get this level of pettiness. Jesus H Christ!!!! So few comments not easily 45% are snarky. What the hell?!?!? Thank you so much for all the videos you've done on this topic and I'm wiser now (especially on the nepotism thing. That would put me right off, I hate schmoozing to get opportunities, it gives me the hives). Awesome to have you back, and I'm in the West Country too. P.S. your make up is perfect, so natural and soft 😊.

My experience in Australia as a tech fella is that in almost every sector, its not what you know that matters, its who you know that matters.

I love the music in the background 😊❤ it’s so cozy
I thought the same. Lounge piano music- relaxing and perfect volume.
