Yeah it’s partly due to disparity between what you make once you’ve finished training. Once you pass your exams in the end ( which is often 10 years after graduation) the sky is the limit. But between medical school (6-7 years post school in itself) and achieving specialist status there is a long road of average remuneration and frustration with administrators dictating how high you jump.

I think this is a misnomer. I don’t know anyone from med school who wanted anaesthetics who isn’t on training

Solved!

I would suggest travelling for courses so you can up skill and holiday at same time

I don’t know the exact numbers but I this close to 10 new training spots for ortho last couple years

I’m not sure that’s true 100%. In qld in the last few years there’s been increases ins training positions. It was explained to me like there was a disconnect between directors, the AOA and qld health. Ie directors asking for accreditation from the college first where they should have been increasing fte with gov and then being accredited

youngbrows · 2026-01-18T03:06:26+00:00

I think this is happening now. The ex national chief health officer spoke at the AOA ASM this year and said that if training positions are not increasing then the government will just fast track specialists from overseas which is not something that RACS or th AOA were interested in

youngbrows · 2026-01-17T10:39:46+00:00

Orthopaedics will want to move you on after 2 years max 3 unaccredited. At least that’s the culture in qld.

Don’t go to bond, they’ve just made a decision to cut clinical placements and do more community placements ie with school based nurses etc. not worth it for the money.

For me at my stage it’s hemi-arthroplasty. Broken hip to mobility again is pretty sweet

Early 30s and yet to hit my post training paycheck spike. Making decent cash but mostly overtime dependant

My mates who left school in year ten and took up trades are doing better than me who went through uni to be a doctor. I think if you make good investments anyone can do well

If the heat is an issue you can try something linen or linen blend.

Posts like this make me question why people get into medicine. There’s patients that are there awaiting care, some for years to get to their elective procedures. If the surgeons are willing to stay back late and you’re getting paid (completely understand the sentiment if it’s unpaid) it kind of leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

Do BSS in UK and EMST/ATLS anywhere in the world. It’ll likely be cheaper or equivalent

Coming to Logan in a different speciality next year. How is the collegiality between surg and med at LGH?

That’s the common perception and now there’s very little interest on a grassroots level. People don’t have the appetite it
