A great case study of Dr. Lydia Nunes has been added to the My Medical Career case studies section.
I came to Australia in 1994 after I completed my training in anaesthetics. I was offered a job in the hospital emergency department because of my anaesthetic training. I loved emergency department work . I loved the people contact. I became ambivalent about continuing anaesthetics. I decided to take up general practice as a specialty.
I was very impressed with the quality of care in australia. I had to sit all my exams again- the AMC and Fellowship exams. With hard work I was able to pass them first go. I secured a place in the training program for general practice and obstetrics and gynaecology. I chose general practice so I could support the wider community.

I am guessing most of your are familiar with the online dermatology resurce, Dermnet. If not, you should check it out. You can carry Dermnet's extensive information about skin diseases and treatment on your PDA for info on-the-go. You will need iSilo reader for your PDA, and iSiloX to convert the website content so you can read it using iSilo!
Enjoy!
A fantastic case study of Dr. Katriona Ross has been added to the My Medical Career case studies section.
I got into medicine later in life. I had a career in a pathology laboratory prior to medicine. I did a science degree and was a rower at national level and trained for the Canadian Olympic team. I then did a masters degree in sport physiology and my mentor advsied me that I would make a good doctor and to consider medicine. My athletic career was over in my late twentys. At age twenty nine years I started my medical training course and graduated at thirty three years. After I graduated I wanted to be a generalist and not to close doors. I like the idea of staying general.

Hi all,
I'm a final year student at Sydney Uni and I have recently seen an advertisement for recent graduates to work for SingHealth in Singapore. The ad is at http://www.smg.govsg/html/SMChome.html
It sounds like a great opportunity to travel, but I am wondering whether spending next year working in Singapore would be a help or a hinderence career-wise? Is it better to get registered in Australia before going away, or is it not really an issue?
Any advice would be welcomed...
Cheers
Jeremy
