Not on selection panel but have done some reviewing of CVs, cover letters, and been on the interview panel before at RCH.

Best advice is to try get a paeds rotation early - St Vs has a paeds rotation through RCH which is very popular.

Lots of med students wonder if they need to intern at St Vincent's because they offer an intern rotation to RCH - the vast majority of paediatric trainees did not intern at St Vincent's or do the paeds rotation there.

I know the RCH/MCH network in Victoria are pretty acclaimed around here and still allow PGY2 entry.

My oncology term as a HMO at RCH was interrupted by my wedding and subsequent honeymoon, I had registrars just barely struggling to keep their own head above water and blatant infighting amongst the consultants that made for a really hostile work environment.

Interviews at RCH, but preferences willing/wanting to do rural training will have a slightly easier time being accepted into support rural stream BPT places.

I know training offers have gone out for at least some of the rural schemes that are run through RCH.

Suspect I might know the answer but have applicants heard back yet from RCH regarding Victorian paeds training offers?

The Victorian paediatrics entry point, and the sub's standing corrective: you do not need a St Vincent's intern year, its RCH rotation, or the GDCH to be selected — commitment to paediatrics is what is scored.
