I've been working as an unaccredited surgical registrar in a major tertiary hospital for three years. Every year I get excellent term reports, do the research, audit, and on-call grunt work, but when college applications roll around for formal SET training (RACS), the spots always seem to go to local graduates. I’m starting to feel like hospitals use IMGs as cheap service provision for unaccredited roles without ever intending to support us into an actual training program. When is it time to cut your losses and switch to GP?
