@Lamboozler@AlexRossdeutsch Can personally highly recommend. Spent 1.5 years in the INS and loved it. Arrived as an FY2 with no interest in neurosurgery and within a month I knew that’s what I wanted to do.
Great staff, great place to learn how to progress beyond foundation training for any speciality
My first world problem is that living in New Zealand means I usually see this tweet halfway through my weekend and end up jealous of those people for whom the weekend is just starting
@Dr_DeanS It’s not easy being away from family but there are so many expats here (not just in medicine) that make it work.
I don’t know anyone who have brought pets to NZ but a colleague from the UK took her dog to Australia. Think it’s easy enough if you’re willing to pay for it
@Dr_DeanS I’m currently on a 5 week course where everything (including meals) are covered. I feel like there’s some level of investment in making me a better Doctor. I also am not being punished for not going into training ASAP like I would be in the UK
