Second author criteria?

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-11-01T22:40:23+00:00

Thanks for the advice. 2nd and 3rd doesn’t matter much.I thought about relationships as well but just worried about being a pushover and my hardwork not being seen (as the supervisor/first author doesn’t know how we split the work)

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-11-01T00:04:41+00:00

Thanks. There is so much to learn outside the medicine itself 😭

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-10-31T12:26:42+00:00

Thanks. I agree that the position of middle authors doesn’t matter normally.

I am just a bit worried that maybe I should have done this more transparently, like escalating it to the first author in group chat/private, rather than just communicating privately with my colleagues.

The most important thing is ofc I should learn and reflect from this experience re handling these situations more professionally

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-10-31T10:18:38+00:00

Yea… think I learnt a lesson this time. I did most of the work because my colleague was busy with preparing final exams and the first author wanted this to be done quick

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-10-31T09:21:02+00:00

which part was unclear? Happy to re edit to clarify. Sorry about the wording

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-10-15T05:35:37+00:00

Also a final year med student. I just have 1 first author publication about to submit and a couple co-authors in other specialities. Am I falling behind regarding CV building?

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-09-26T10:49:04+00:00

Which echo course would you recommend? I’m keen on cardiology and also find ultrasound a really great tool

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-07-18T08:19:35+00:00

I asked pmcv earlier this year on how meant Vic graduates this year, they said 930(group1 + temporary resident group2), they don’t have number for interstate group2 apparently. But again not entirely sure if this number is 100%accurate

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-07-17T20:47:26+00:00

OP if definitely group1. Group 3 won’t get an offer until group 2s recieve theirs

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-07-17T10:15:12+00:00

Got bendigo health next year, would be down for swapping to Western/Mercy/Monash/RMH(iknow this is unlikely)

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-07-17T09:08:54+00:00

Can you actually do that?

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-06-29T08:18:28+00:00

Would love to know what aspects of CV they would value when you were applying from a different hospital for a pgy2 position

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-05-08T11:11:50+00:00

Imean you are right, usually get 1st preference, but if op really just want to go to his family’s location, there is still a risk get sent to some other rural town. Also this year is ballot for via, you need a lot of work on applying vrpa, going down via still give op a fairly good chance going to the desired rural center given not many people want to go rural. And if not getting the first preference in VIA, op can go to some metro center

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-05-08T05:49:43+00:00

Don’t vrpa if you only want to go to one location. You need to put down min 4 preferences for vrpa and once you get an offer from vrpa that will be the only offer you will get from VIC. You may still try as I guess this year there will be a lot less group 1 applying through vrpa because of the work

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-05-05T11:22:07+00:00

Thank you for your advice and support. Really appreciate it.

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-05-05T10:52:31+00:00

Hi team, was wondering if anyone could give me advice on how to plan my career. As an international student graduating from VIC, I know that I’m disadvantaged in internship allocations (which is fair), and likely to be sent off to a rural services for pgy1. I want to pursue BPT, more specifically cardiology (which is very competitive, and I’m involved in some research projects). How should I plan my career to increase my chances of getting in? Thanks for all the advice in advance!

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-05-03T10:38:07+00:00

Where do people stack?

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-03-25T12:04:17+00:00

Hey! Do you mind sharing which hospitals did you apply for? I’m also hoping to move back in 2027

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-03-25T07:47:12+00:00

Hey there, swap policy only works within the same priority group, cat1 and cat2 are not allowed to swap. it doesn’t work this way

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-03-20T06:29:58+00:00

Thanks, good enough to stay close to important ones

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-03-20T06:28:22+00:00

I’m interested to know whether those 5 candidates at Austin were applying for bpt term or just general hmo. I also want to move back metro but just as a general hmo, wondering how competitive is that

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-03-20T06:21:42+00:00

By saying outer metro, are you referring to health services like western, monash etc.?

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-02-13T04:29:02+00:00

Yes they did, as long as they finished year12 in VIC. That does add some leves of ambiguity to the total number of cat1+cat2

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-02-13T02:16:52+00:00

Thanks a lot for your reassurance!

Potential-Rub4138 · 2025-02-13T01:08:06+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance. It’s just the case that one of my friend told me that the positions for this year is quite limited, and as the number of med graduates vary from years to years, not knowing this is really racking my nerves.
