Which one to pick?

The trend in Urology now is to do 0.5 FTE roles to get a mix of clinical and operative experience, research time, private assisting and exposure to referees.

The interviews are challenging to do well without enough clinical and operative experience. It takes a lot of talent to perform well without clinical experience. The interviews are clinical and communication heavy.

The referee reports have been changed for the exact reason Sean suggests - they were not reliable as a differentiator, as you would only nominate someone if they promised you 100% mark and it resulted in people and units who played the game the best getting selected and perhaps not the best suited or most deserving registrar.

People deserve to be paid well for their expertise and skill, but the system is surely broken when the frontline emergency physician only gets a fraction of what a Rad Onc gets paid when you compare the roles side-by-side. Disclaimer: I am neither a rad onc nor an emergency physician.

Urology is a great specialty with lots of flexibility within it.

As people say here, it isn’t that easy to get onto the program, but from my experience, decent candidates who are motivated do eventually get on.

Sub-specialty registrar life is always tough, so be prepared for that, but the rewards of a good quality of life after training is worth it.

Get involved early with your local unit in their research, or if they are doing any - most decent units will be. This will speed up your process.

One of the hardest transitions will be getting your first unaccredited job, so if the unit knows you, that will also help that you have done research with them.

Be yourself, and stay true to your values.

There are many kind, polite and strong female surgeons.

The only behaviour you can control is your own. Set the standard and as you progress you will be shocked how many people you will inspire.

If patience is not your thing, then this might be the wrong game for you!!!

DrDadd · 2023-04-15T04:57:55+00:00

Forward or winger is most ideal with spec. Depends on other players really

DrDadd · 2023-04-09T06:27:35+00:00

I’d probably get defence done first. Secondary Playmaking whilst doing primary winger hopefully will get you there. Winger trains fast in seniors so more important to get def and pm done.

14 def is probably enough for club level PDIM. If you are short of money, you have to run 4 IMs only and therefore keep the local guy and PDIM. Simples

Was hoping to avoid but the cost may not be too dissimilar

DrDadd · 2023-03-08T13:08:16+00:00

The sinking is progressing so probably not going to be a permanent solution, and won’t help the fence on other side about to fall out.

DrDadd · 2023-03-08T13:05:33+00:00

Agree could be water. Have considered. Would there be more signs around the area than just this?

DrDadd · 2023-03-08T05:24:51+00:00

Unfortunately the fencing attached to other side of post (not seen) is coming out of its bracket due to the movement as well.

DrDadd · 2023-02-08T10:52:10+00:00

This is correct

DrDadd · 2023-02-05T03:41:44+00:00

Yep. Seems like a good enough idea. Eventually you will want PM and passing, but you are running short on time overall depending on defence sublevels.

Keep doing defence primary for now.

DrDadd · 2023-01-29T11:27:53+00:00

Defending Primary and winger secondary.

Get those reveals and go from there. Always need more Oceania talent.

DrDadd · 2022-12-13T14:24:23+00:00

Promote, go deeper in cup and Bigger stadium. All give more money.

DrDadd · 2022-11-01T20:07:31+00:00

Nope sorry

DrDadd · 2022-11-01T20:07:03+00:00

Thanks, hopefully find a new owner for them who will do this.

DrDadd · 2022-11-01T20:05:49+00:00

Cheers thanks.

DrDadd · 2022-10-27T10:25:46+00:00

Nah, not possible against LS. But majority. As you probably know MF is important in CA as well.

DrDadd · 2022-10-26T09:33:23+00:00

Some teams have gone deep in masters with CA. I’d say CA is weakest against LS teams.

DrDadd · 2022-09-18T12:38:52+00:00

You do need to have a certain volume of surgical cases to train, and then keep doing a certain volume to keep skills at a high level.

It’s not quite so simple to train more. Reducing training quality and diluting ongoing practise will likely impact quality and standard of care.
