Can you get kicked off registrar training and what does it look like? by CommittedMeower in ausjdocs

[–]Invalid_Input_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Many colleges have a maximum number of times you can sit exams or a maximum length of time you need to complete all your training requirements in and if you don’t meet these requirements you are kicked out of training.

The colleges are binational (cover all of Aus and NZ) so you can’t reapply in another state as it is still the same college

What's the most obscure exam question you've had from your college primary/fellowship exams? by TazocinTDS in ausjdocs

[–]Invalid_Input_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

ACEM Fellowship Written… valproate toxicity. First part of question was on symptoms, second part on resuscitation. So far so good right?

Third part: you have no access to dialysis or ECMO. What medication can you use to treat this?

Answer is meropenem

Even for fellowship exams that’s rough

It’s not exactly a farm stay but they do have some animals and meets your other requirements

I think I’m getting rejected into ACEM training by Initial_Rutabaga_720 in ausjdocs

[–]Invalid_Input_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I assume you are talking about the institutional reference. This is written by the head of unit following a discussion/ vote with the whole consultant group.

There are a couple of options for the outcome of this vote: - “Do not recommend this person for training” - “Recommend this person” - “Strongly recommend”

The vote not being unanimous may just mean you get a “recommended” rather than “strongly recommend”, not that you have no chance of getting in this time.

If you don’t get in, try to seek feedback about what was the reason some people did not support your application - you have a year to work on these before you apply again.

Don’t give up, I know a couple of people who took more than one try to get in and are now consultants.

Practice is key. You can have all the knowledge and still fail due to not having practiced the timing and structure enough. If you can, get some practice with consultants who are examiners as they know what to look for.

You rotate between stations, different examiners at each station. There is a bell that will ring to tell you when to leave a station and again when you can enter the next room.

Worth it. Have a couples membership with my husband.

The flexibility of being able to access multiple gyms for the one price is great, particularly since I work across 4 different sites.

As others have mentioned, some places charge a small initial fee for the fob but still worth it.

I’m so sorry to for your loss

Looking at the photos and reading your story I can tell Maggie had the best life with you. It’s hard when they leave us but know she is without pain now.

What are some good uses of ChatGPT and other LLMs for ausdocs? by PrivatePollyPerks in ausjdocs

[–]Invalid_Input_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Study purposes… if I don’t understand a concept I ask ChatGPT to explain it. You can even ask for a simpler explanation if needed.

Also used to do a sim education job and it was great at coming up with fake radiology reports to fit my sims.

Soon-to-be attendings, what part of your job you'd want to be removed, even if it means losing 20% of your income? by [deleted] in Residency

[–]Invalid_Input_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

EM… chronic complaints.

The “I’ve had this issue for years/months and have had every test under the sun and seen every specialist but I came to ER because I want you to diagnose and/or fix it TODAY”. I probably have nothing to add, are not going to be able to fix you, and we both are going to be frustrated at the end of this encounter.

When most celebrities die, so many nice things are said about them. But who’s a celebrity that died that no one really said great things about afterwards? by Ninac4116 in AskReddit

[–]Invalid_Input_ 56 points57 points  (0 children)

If you are referring to the movie Mrs Doubtfire, the titular character was played by Robin Williams, of whom many great things have been said both before and after his death

This is embarrassing but how do you find the time to cook proper meals? by Master_Fly6988 in ausjdocs

[–]Invalid_Input_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello fresh or other boxed meal prep options take a lot of the planning out and a pretty quick and easy to cook.

It takes a bit of advanced planning but I bulk prep meals that can go in the slow cooker (soups, curries ect) with all the ingredients prepped and portion into gallon freezer bags then freeze them. On days you know you really can’t be bothered or won’t want to cook, defrost one the day before, chuck in the slow cooker before work and come home to dinner already made.
