B. Med (I presume you mean the Newcastly course) is exactly the same (well qualification wise) as any other Medical course in Australia, therefore you can do ANY specialty that anyone else can do - there are NO disadvantages except if you like/don't like their course structure/learning style (eg. PBL, 5 years etc). Do some research and you'll find anything you want.

Ok, I've tried to find some stuff but I think I'm looking in the wrong places.
Can anyone help me with some links to:
- Specialties on offer.
- What exactly PBL entails, and what other approaches are taken at other uni's.
- How hard it is to get into a specialty course/or is it gaurenteed?
- Is internship at a local hospital hard to get or is there some direct-entry program from Newcastle to JHH for example.
thx anyone that can help me with that.

a) Don't think about that now. I mean it. There is NO point. You haven't even passed the very first of hundreds of hurdles (five/six years in medical school comes with its price, and you WILL be culled).
b) For that you should do your own research, on this forum and on google.
c) There are varying degrees of competition (which is not the same as difficulty, since EVERYTHING is difficult in med) but like I said - don't think about this now. You still need to secure a place and prove yourself as a doctorer.
d) For this you would need to understand the structure of the teaching hospitals, allocation systems and all that jazz. Once more, forget about it until you're in clinical.

Yeh it gets worse when ur an intern. Especially if u have dodgy curry registrars who ask you to cover for them while they cheat on their wives.
My attitude to stupid questions has changed since wilson got angry at me.

heres the thing... i got bedside tutorials.. and i havent heard the word .. "your right" much...
the challenge is proving that u can get the info..
if ure not ready for others to judge u.. the real world is a killer..
