I'd also like some input on this if anyone has any opinions. I'm international at a Vic school and applying for internship this year. Have not considered the specific hospitals but these would be my 3 states as well - Vic, NSW, Queensland (no particular preference, but we do have priority 2 in Vic).
I wouldn't mind going regional or even rural, in fact I'd probably prefer it given I'd be more involved in things, but at the same time was wondering if that would hurt my chances for training at any of the metro hospitals/programs in the future?
Goal is to do internship regional/rural to get more hands on experience (as opposed to the more running around paper pushing types of tasks interns do at the bigger hospitals), then go into BPT in year 2 or 3 at a metro hospital.
So If I had to rank things it would be 1) doing more hands on tasks and being more involved 2) ability to get into a good BPT program at a metro in PGY2/3 3) pay.
