This presentation from AMA Victoria is designed for medical students in their final years, especially those out on clinical rotations. It introduces the different streams and vocational pathways available in medicine – and how you can use this time to start thinking about what suits you best.
From medical, surgical and GP/rural generalist pathways to non-clinical careers, the key message is:
You have options. It’s okay to change your mind. And planning early helps.
What you’ll learn:
- The range of clinical and non-clinical career pathways available to you
- What to consider when choosing a stream or health service
- Key decision points in your early postgraduate years (internship, PGY2+)
- How training works across specialties – timelines, entry points and requirements
Whether you’re clear on your direction or still exploring, this presentation helps you start shaping a career that fits your strengths, interests and lifestyle goals.
