Hi there,
I'm a Canadian Medical School and looking to move to Australia to perhaps do my residency. I know that they have the British system there and require an Internship / Foundations 2 years after completing their MBBS. As an MD with my clerkship already done (assuming an equivalent to an internship) - where would that leave me as a transfer?
Would I need to complete the foundation years before the residency, or would I go directly into residency? Also - for a general practitioner, I've read mixed reviews as to how long it is, and my understanding as it would be longer due to the foundation years. Just curious if I could skip those intern years and go right into GP training.
Also - backwards to that (out of curiosity), somebody completing a MBBS in Australia without doing their foundation years, would they be able to go into Canadian Residency as an IMG without essentially doing a clerkship?
Thanks!
