What I'm Grateful For
TO HAVE A JOB!
There was a large portion of 2022 that I spent worried I wouldn't have a job. I am incredibly Grateful to be at a hospital I chose, and that chose me too, and be employed in NSW.

Curious if you can all guess what the "known to be hard" hospital I put up in my ranking was? 👀

@MR-bc8hn Год назад

emma what are your plans once you finish your residency? are you planning to work on canada once you complete the residency program?

@shawnblackwood1590 Год назад

Probably your own home experience would make the transition to a rural , small town hospital a bit easier for you vs a person from a large urban center.

Hey Emma - great video, super helpful info for the future 😊. I just wanted to point out that the phrase “born and raised” I do not think is correct in this context. You simply have to be an Australian or NZ Citizen or PR to be considered a local graduate. You can be an immigrant to Australia (and Aus has many immigrants who now call Australia home) but at the time of completion of your degree and application for an intern position, you are considered a local student, ie, a Domestic student, ie Australian or NZ citizen or PR who has completed their medical degree in Australia or within the state, whichever applies 😊. Unless I have misunderstood the distinction myself, I think that is correct. Otherwise any immigrant who is a citizen but was not strictly born and raised here, would be precluded from that category.

@EmmaB_MD 6 месяцев назад

Hey! No you haven't misunderstood it - you're absolutely correct I was using the term a little more generally so thank you for the clarification. It is important to note (while I don't have personal experience with it) if a student comes and starts their degree as an international student (like I did) they should remain in close contact with their uni admin if they want to gain PR part way through their degree as it may change things like their tuition, and admission status! But yes you don't have to be TRULY born and raised (just a turn of phrase) just Aussie/NZ PR or Citizen to be in those categories :)

Hey Emma, not directly related to the video, but how’s the spider situation in Australia? Are they as bad as people make it to be on social media? Do you find them (especially the big ones like huntsmen) inside a house?

@EmmaB_MD 7 месяцев назад

Sorry! Super late reply - turns out being a JMO has kept me very busy. I don't think they are as bad as people outside Aus make you believe - yes they exist but I've never had a BIG one inside the house, and have only seen one venomous spider outside near my house. Plus the huntsmen - while scary - aren't deadly so they are the ultimate jump scare with no bite. Of course that depends where you live!

Current 2nd year international in NSW, did you know or heard of any internationals not get an internship?

@EmmaB_MD Год назад

Hey! Congrats on being on the pathway! I do know of some international grads who didn’t get a job through OA but one of them went interstate (and that’s what they wanted!) and I know of another who did the JDTP. So I don’t know of any who were unemployed just had a bit more stress towards the end of the year. Every year is different but I know there’s been vacancies at many of the hospitals that meant jobs were posted for IMGs that are still being filled - and a local but international grad would be eligible for those!

@AlecCFutureMD Год назад

Not my takeaway from this being “aw yis, covid reduced the number of graduating students = higher chance of being employed post grad, even as an IMG” 😅 (studying in QLD so I know preferencing’s a lil different). While I know it’ll be stressful either way, its relieving to see the different options should top choices (likely) not work out

@EmmaB_MD 7 месяцев назад

Honestly... you're not wrong though 😅 I think I had a higher chance getting placed in the city than I thought because I didn't FULLY account for the impact of COVID (and I think that will trickle on for a couple years). 😬 not happy about it... but not mad about the stats 😅

@andylam5320 Год назад

Hi Emma, I don't know if this is the right place to comment this, but recently I had the opportunity to interview with UWA. Unfortunately, I was rejected after the interview. Were you able to get offers after every single one of your interviews? If you were rejected after interview from one school, what did you do to improve for the next interview? That's because I have another opportunity to interview with Flinders now, and I hope I can be successful for this one. Thank you for your advice.

@EmmaB_MD Год назад

Hey! No worries thanks for reaching out. Every interview I did actually did result in an acceptance. I think it's great that you have another opportunity to interview at another school! In terms of trying to improve - most of the time schools won't give you feedback post interview but it never hurts to ask! I would email UWA and see if they provide any feedback or notes from your interview. Then I would look back at the Qs they asked and try to think through other ways to answer them (most of the schools I found asked Qs in a similar theme to one another) were there Qs you weren't prepared for? Did you talk in circles or not have enough life examples to draw on? Can you brainstorm some scenarios you've experienced that answer common Qs such as: why medical school, why this school, how have you resolved conflict in the past? I'd also ask friends/family to help you practice using zoom or skype because a big part about online interviews is that it can be awkward talking to the camera! If your interviews are in person then practice in person and ask for feedback on your body language etc :) I did make a video in medschool (so closer to when I interviewed) talking about how I prepped for my MMIs - I hope it helps too. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Umlyv3xXaaE.html

@@EmmaB_MD Hi Emma, thank you for your helpful response. However, if you don't mind, I have a few additional questions I would like to ask you: 1. I know that after graduation, I won’t be guaranteed an internship position, but do you know how likely it is for international graduates to secure an internship position in the past few years? 2. If I’m unable to secure an internship position, how many times am I allowed to reapply for an internship position? 3. After receiving the MD degree from Flinders, does Canada recognize this degree? I heard that there is an exam I need to take, do you have more information on that? 4. If I am able to secure an internship in Australia, how likely is it for me to stay in Australia to become a practicing physician, and how likely is it for me to get a job in Canada (will Canada recognize the internship in Australia, and do I have to take another exam after doing the internship and specialty training)? Thank you for your help once again.

hi emma, how do you define rural? less than 50k population?

@EmmaB_MD Год назад

Hey! I don't really have a personal definition in the context of this video the Rural Preferential Pathway has a variety of city sizes for example from the top of my head one is about ~18 000 people and another is ~70 000 so it is pretty varied. Within Australia they have various scales used to quantify the remoteness of a community which includes distance to services, population, density, etc such as the Modified Monash Model which I see used a lot! www.health.gov.au/topics/rural-health-workforce/classifications/mmm

@MB-nd8gi Год назад

do you feel like you're missing out on more "complex" cases as usu seen in big academic centres? :)

@EmmaB_MD Год назад

That's a good question. I don't really think so - I noticed as a student in the city that as a junior you may brush upon the care of complex patients but you aren't making the decisions so you see them and can ask questions etc but you aren't missing out by NOT seeing them as a junior if you see them later in your career if that makes sense? Plus the hospital I chose actually keeps a lot of our cases "at home" even though it's rural and as a Junior that actually means I am consulting over the phone the specialised teams so if anything I'm getting more involved (ie. hearing their plans and explaining the reasoning, vs asking the team to see the pt which they could do at any time without me present). I think it really depends on the size and acuity of the rural hospital but it is reassuring that if they are registered to train JMOs that AHPRA/HETI believe a Junior will get enough experience to be well rounded in Year 1.

Blacktown?

@EmmaB_MD Год назад

Good guess - Blacktown is actually one of the DRA choices! It wasn't the DRA I ranked first - but it is one that a lot of Cat 4 students place 1st and I know quite a few who got it!
