Gaining medical work experience is essential for young people considering a career in medicine. It provides insight into the field, helps develop skills and attributes, and provides networking opportunities. However, obtaining medical work experience can be challenging due to various restrictions such as limited opportunities, safety concerns, and confidentiality issues.
That's why NIE has developed the "Future Doctors Australia" program. It is an engaging and high-impact 4-day program that provides young people with a unique opportunity to gain medical work experience in a safe and structured environment. Participants will have the opportunity to spend time with current junior and senior medical students. They will also have the rare opportunity to spend time with more senior clinicians and various medical specialists. You will get to learn about clinical's specialist's relevant fields of work, ask them questions, and learn some hands-on skills from them.
The program includes:
Program Dates and Locations:
In consideration of the diverse geographical origins of our attendees participating in the Future Doctors Australia program, Our foremost priority in venue selection was to ensure that the duration of each program would be held either within the same venue or in close proximity to one another.
This deliberate choice aims to optimize the logistical aspects of the program, minimizing travel time and maximizing valuable engagement opportunities for our attendees. Furthermore, we have meticulously chosen centralized venues that are in close proximity to public transportation facilities, shops, and, of equal importance, a wide range of accommodation options. This thoughtful consideration of venue locations aims to provide the utmost convenience and accessibility, allowing our attendees to focus on the enriching program content and networking opportunities without unnecessary concerns about travel arrangements and accommodation logistics.
