IMGs face new $34,000 fee for fellowship training
Applications have opened for a new program to support IMGs pursuing fellowship, but it will leave them thousands of dollars out of pocket because the Federal Government will not support it.
For many observers, too many IMGs have been brought over on limited registration to work in rural communities with minimal backing, high workload and limited opportunities for learning — a fact reflected in the historical pass rates for those who sit RACGP exams.
