- Unrestricted Medicare number allows you to treat private patients The different registrations are with the Medical Board of Australia and are required for practice of medicine The next few slides have information of the registrar years and the required commitment. You will need to link the Specialty college administered training (vocational) to the actual colleges and the available specialties
- Link these Specialties to the colleges listed on the previous slide Students have the option to further specialise in “fields of specialty practice” listed below the specialty however this is not always required. E.g. you can simply be a paediatrician and not be required to choose a field such as emergency. All information taken from http://www.medicalboard.gov.au/Registration/Types/Specialist-Registration/Medical-Specialties-and-Specialty-Fields.aspx
- Please note: There is significant opportunity for research as part of medical training. Many training pathways require research publications in order to be accredited and encourage maintained research outcomes.
- Many students forget that they are signing up for being a doctor and instead focus on the prestige of getting in to study medicine. Do you love learning? (medicine is a lifelong science- continued learning) Do you enjoy solving challenging problems? (main role of diagnosing and figuring how to treat) Emotionally resilient? (able to cope with death and support families) Are you interested in how the human body functions? (as a doctor you will need to know in detail how the body functions and how to fix it)
- Undergraduate degrees can usually be anything (law to pharmacy), but will need to prepare you for the GAMSAT. People often choose to study: Nursing, Science (biomedical science) , Allied health (physio, dietician, OT, etc)

- Longlook placements 3rd year 21 4th year 9 Rural GP placements Rural specialist
- I mentioned that the program is essentially turning the curriculum on it’s side. Again this is not a new concept. Here I am referring to the Griffith curriculum. The students still complete their 3rd year in semesters and in 2011 will be examined at the end of each semester. During the semester though they will be working and learning in a rural hospital broadly in the functional areas of the hospital that meet the requirements of the semester. A student beginning their year in the medical ward of the hospital will also conduct rounds and primary care clinics in aged care facilities, see cancer care patients managed at the hospital, follow some of these patients on their diagnostic and management travels to major centres and join the mental health teams in their rural towns again following some of the acutely ill psychiatric cases on their referral to major centres and back to the rural hospital. During the second semester they will then progress through a similar process in surgical, women’s and children’s health, some of which they will have experienced in the first semester.
- So what does the program look like? Rural placements are able to provide the experience necessary to complete the curriculum, but not in a way that readily fits into the artificial terms of rotations. Patients just don’t come into rural hospitals and practices having selected their condition to suit the term of the students therein. The arrangement of the final year Longlook program is to send all students off to seek an elective in the first term. They should explore areas of medicine of interest to them or those areas in which they feel they need more experience. The Rural Stream which conducts the Longlook program can arrange for rural placements or some overseas rural placements. On return from Electives, all students will orient to the Longlook program and to rural practice before starting on their longitudinal placement for the rest of the year. Selectives are also done longitudinally. So if you were to choose obstetrics as a Selective, each week an antenatal clinic would be attended and a gynae a Caesar list and if one your ladies goes into labour then you would be called to deliver. Similarly, anaesthetics selective would entail a pre-op clinic a week and regular anaesthetic list. Longlook arranges for regular tutorials locally and in hub days, both of which include exam prep workshops before the midyear and final year exams.
