Anaes quite popular.

Icu subspecialty need to complete either res or anaes or internal med.

U sure aussie that easy to get?

Yeah, requires a bit of patience and some willingness to do a rural internship (HO) year, or at an accredited private hospital. The bottleneck is at internship (HO). It is much easier to get jobs from PGY2 onwards. Residency or specialist training however will likely require an Aussie PR.

Probably anaesthetics honestly! This is a competitive speciality isn’t it 😂 But also might be okay to do the internal med route

Slept with a few nurses recently. 3 on internship. Life is good for doctors.

Confusing. are u are interested in intensive care? if u are the IM-AIM/Respi route-ICU is possible.
But if u are interested in anes, then u have to wait about 2-3 years before starting training
