Aussie GP treated as an IMG reveals her battle with the college to work in her own country
Dr Corinne Glenn's decision to do her GP training in New Zealand for family reasons had unexpected consequences.
As an Australian medical graduate, Dr Corinne Glenn says she was staggered by the IMG bureaucracy she was forced through to work as a specialist doctor in this country.
Dr Glenn was one of the first graduates from Notre Dame University’s School of Medicine in WA and completed her junior doctor training in Perth.
When her father died, she moved to New Zealand so her son could grow up with his paternal cousins there, while she continued her training in pathology.
She saw no reason the move would stop her practising in Australia.
