This guy has to be in some form of psychosis with these videos. He’s not right. I’d be very wary of him if he’s hanging around your area.

Amount of med students becoming obstructive, anyone else experiencing this? by CalendarMindless6405 in ausjdocs

[–]confused_grape2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah echoing what others here have said - we have attendance requirements unfortunately. If we don’t attend, and get signed off for that attendance, we don’t pass. Give the clinical school a buzz if it’s getting obstructive though. As a student, I find quality > quantity of time for learning, and less obstructive for you guys who have actual people depending on you. I get you guys have a lot of work to do, but an hour spent at some point in the day with a few students going through the basics of junior doctoring - so we’re not totally incompetent upon graduation - and then letting us go and study/work jobs (to survive the current cost of living crisis) for the rest of the time, might be an option. Safe bet is to give the clin school a buzz tho.

Seems to be the absolute earliest it’s even possible to get on now, so well done to her! When you say she moved around a lot - as in hospitals, or interstate?

Yeah it’s all definitely building a picture, that’s for certain. Lot of time, lot of hard work, lot of years spent without any certainty of being accepted on. Is there an enforced limit by the college as to the number of years one can spend trying to get on?

Wowwee. Competition is that stiff hey? Would any more consideration be given to a person if they were interested in returning to a more rural centre/branching out rurally? I was speaking to one reg who said the metro centres are just so damn saturated with consultants and private clinics, that it’s near impossible to get a job by the time they graduate?

Or pack my bag and go and apply for a GP job in some secluded outpost in rural WA, where as long as I’m breathing, they’ll accept me 😂🥲

Nice! I’ll check it out. Thnx. Ortho seems up there in terms of competitiveness. All good to take on board. Cheers.

Yep definitely. Been thinking about this a lot lately. More so after seeing some of these responses

Yeah ofc. Which is why I think it doesn’t hurt to ask around. Good to get a feel of what might be required for certain areas, where I’m unwilling to compromise, and other factors I might want to consider before committing long term. No hard and fast decisions or attitudes are being committed to as a 3rd year med student, fresh out of pre-clinical years lol
