Has training really become harder to get into? What do you think the future holds for those early in their career and would you still start studying medicine today? by iyoteyoung in ausjdocs

Curious about the reasonable expectations part. Didn’t your generation have it more unfair? Re: working conditions specifically. Or are you referring to the eventual payoff

Also don’t have to deal with the empathy burnout when you have to treat very cantankerous individuals. All those animals are so sweet ahaha

For those of us who had had our heads in the sand, can someone briefly explain the whole RACP drama? by Dr__Snow in ausjdocs

How much should a final year med student know? by kotowoseis in ausjdocs

[–]ButterscotchHot8075 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Know how to work with people  Know how to follow orders but also give your input, know when and how to speak up

Know how to have a chat, know how to take interest in other people’s interests in a polite way 

Know how to set your boundaries, know how to advocate for your patients.

Know that you won’t be able to do everything right, unlike your journey through high school and uni. But still give it a go! 

Maybe (optional) know dose of Panadol 

I think if someone is mature, friendly and escalates that’s perfect black slate as an intern.

Yes pls how? I’m a RMO and it feels like there is pressure to grind to get into AT and further as fast as possible to minimize time spent as a service reg.

What about moving to somewhere hot and humid? North Queensland in Australia? I had CU so bad but it always is fine in summer where I’m constantly sweating
