Hello everyone,
I'm aware that this topic has been hugely debated on this forum but I also find the information to be slightly confusing and thus I'd be really appreciative if someone could explain it to me clearly.
About me: I'm a medical student who will be graduating in the Spring of 2018. I'm Portuguese but my medical degree is from the Czech Republic (I'm studying in an English programme). I plan to go back to Portugal once I finish my studies and do my whole residency there.
I have been considering moving to Australia after finishing my residency in Portugal. So, I'd be moving as a specialist already (for instance, in Oncology).
So, I have loads of questions...
1) Can someone explain clearly what are the steps and options that are available for a physician in my (future) situation, regarding moving to Australia?
I've heard about the "specialist pathway", but still I don't have a clear picture on my mind.
2) The 10 year moratorium?
3) How expensive is the whole process?
4) How long does it take to take care of the whole thing? i.e. How many years before should I begin the process?
5) Which exams are required for me to do
