The current international med students and IMGs in Australia issue

I've been watching the whole med student tsunami, lack of internship places for full-fee and international med students (students from overseas that study med in Australian universities) and IMG situation in Australia since before I started at OUM, and more intensely now as the debate grows.

Here are a few links to some interesting articles today;

Medical students to take expertise offshore

Lack of internships may send Australian trained doctors elsewhere

These articles are focused on international students, but the incentive for universities to not lose those precious dollars from the international students will help open internship positions, and hopefully PGY-2+, making more room for....ME!!!
