South African final year medical student here. Thank you so much for your videos! This information is priceless.
I think your locum arrangement provides handy, free accommodation because Hobart has one of the lowest vacancy rates for long term accommodation in Australia. All the best! Follow your dreams.
Your insights are so helpful! I feel like I'm learning so much about yet another side of medicine :)
was interesting to see my own hospital showcased in your video. i'm soon to head off on my own locum journey. hope you enjoyed your time in tassie 👍
Love your videos! Keep doing that, great job! 😊
Hello! So good to see you're working where I work, the RHH! I hope you like Hobart! Pounds and Ounces coffee is a bit hit and miss unfortunately!
So weird seeing my everyday workplace in youtube. Hope you had a wonderful experience at RHH😊
I never knew about this, that's pretty cool that all accommodation and flights etc are paid for. It would be a good experience but then you probably yearn to settle down in one place.
Locum was the most exiciting experience for me, from all points of wiew
Love you doc. ❤️🤗
Hey surina, love the vids!! Could you maybe clarify a bit about the moratorium? Is it only for gp training or all specialties?
Don't know anything about medicine. But love watching your videos!
Good day. Thanks for all. I want ask about your year of supervised work after have the provisional register?
How much does a cardiac surgeon get pay monthly in Australia?
Dr.. Hopefully will b fine. Is there any specialised pathway in general surgey after fellowship in Pakistan India
locum is the way to go, so much autonomy & flexibility ...well done :)
Only specialists can do locum or can u do it before residency?
Can you locum In any speciality during your career level?
Cool
Whats your speciality
Hello Surina! I am currently in the process of applying for AHPRA registration via the competent pathway. There is something about a test called PESCI in it. You never mentioned it. Do I need that test before I can apply for registration? Thank you!
Your employer should let you know if you need one, I didn't
The locum accommodation- do you know if they allow a partner to stay with you who is not working in healthcare?
I suppose so as most rooms are double rooms
How did you get a visa locuming? Is the visa usually not sponsored by work?
My visa still valid whilst doing Locum work but your locum agency will advise on your specific situation
Do uk pays for accommodation to lucums?
Are u going back to UK dear??or going to stay in Australia...?
Staying in Aus for a bit longer but ultimately back to the UK I think
Are converse shoes comfortable enough for such long shifts? 😅That's cool but unusual to see!
Very!
@@drsurinataneja You're lucky then, obviously don't have any arch support issues haha
Is it possible to work a few days here and there as locum once you have general registration? ... Say you have a Saturday off from your normal job, is it possible to grab a locum shift on that off day just to make some extra income ?
As far as I know you can't Locum within your state whilst working full time, I worked with someone who was working full time in QLD health then would drive to the NSW border to pick up Locum shifts there on days off
What does locum means, IMG from Philippines 😊
Google
moonlighting
IM SORRY isn’t 130 aus dollars like 70 odd GBP?!? jeez
is that good or bad?
@@jj-if6itgood
If anyone wants to work on locum basis please feel free to reply me.
I would like to
@@chanellereid9263 can we connect on any platform to discuss further.
I can never thank you enough Dr Kunle on You Tube for all your services, I tested Negative after taking your medication, you are truly a man of honor and words
It's a disgrace that this many drs online keep mentioning they are exploring a career outside of medicine. In the future countries like the UK will have no Drs left, and you will have played a your role in that albeit a minor one.
I say this as a Dr who is also planning on leaving medicine but my point still stands, at least I don't have a large platform where I spread the idea.
Also thank you for the video sorry if this comment comes across as rude.
comes off as stupid rather
There are no platforms promoting suicide for depressed doctors and yet suicide rates amongst doctors are on a steady increase. The very reason for her platform is to share her life and career experiences and whether or not she indirectly promotes quitting medicine, people would quit nonetheless. Instead of pointing fingers here and there, how about u respect peoples choices on their lives? We have only one life and if this is how she chose to experience it, so be it. At the end of the day, Doctors are humans too and we are responsible for our own happiness irrespective of ethical opinions.
Lol you are a single woman no husband no children why do you need flexibility and autonomy.ask me,I’ve three kids and I’m doing a regular training job.without kids life is luxury really
Why do I need a husband or kids to require autonomy for myself?🤦🏾♀️
Someone must be looking after your kids for you to be able to do a regular training job. And it's her life, she wants flexibility, so she's working smart to get it. If you don't like your life, no need to criticise other people's.
Exactly why I'm not having kids!
