first 2-4 postgraduate years. In making the transition the between medical school and medical practice the junior doctor will face a
number of personal professional challenges and this book is designed to offer practical tips on managing clinical responsibility and
decision making, career development, specialty colleges and training programs; the internship process; medico-legal and ethical considerations
as well as self-care and finding and developing support networks in the early years. Whilst its focus is on Australian and New Zealand
