Hi everyone,
I'm an IMG looking into pursuing Psychiatry in Australia and aiming for RANZCP fellowship, but I'm trying to weigh my options realistically.
I have a few questions regarding the pathway:
Realistic Timeline: On paper, RANZCP training is 1. 5 years. However, how many unaccredited years (as an RMO/Unaccredited Psych Registrar) should an IMG realistically expect to do before landing an accredited spot? Is 6-8 years total a fair expectation?
Competitiveness: How competitive is getting into an accredited pathway for IMGs currently?
Does working in regional/rural networks noticeably boost your chances?
2
Alternative Path (GP with Mental Health Interest): For someone who loves psychiatry but is hesitant about the long and uncertain road to
RANZCP, what are your thoughts on going down the General Practice (GP) route and building a Special Interest in Mental Health (e.g., FPS/ Mental Health Skills Training)? Is it fulfilling, and does it scratch that same itch?
3.
Would love to hear insights or personal experiences from current trainees, GPs, or consultants. Thanks!

Hi! I’m a 22-year-old Jordanian medical student studying in Egypt. I’m currently in my fourth year and travel from time to time. My English level is B1, and I mainly want to improve my speaking and listening skills, especially because I’m planning to become a psychiatrist.
But iam not that nerdy boy 😂
