ARGH! Stupid people misusing "boutique" (not you Wilson, the media). Do they know what it means? BOUTIQUE MEANS SHOP.
Where do they put all the stock in a boutique hospital, eh? Under the patients?! :mad1:

Of course I know what it is. My point was they are misnamed, under the idea that a "boutique" is an exclusive provider (like the "designer boutiques" that sell expensive gowns) and hence the word can be more widely applied. It's just as bad as people who hear "alcoholic - addicted to alcohol" and extend it to "chocoholic" and "workoholic". Now I don't know any poeple addicted to chocohol or workohol.
Anyway, that's irrelevant. Wilson's definition of the poorly named boutique practice is accurate to a point. It's an elite provider of (in this case) medical care that provides a greater degree of comfort and attention to patients for a massive pile of money, delivered in trucks and deposited in 35° bay doors set in the floor, leading to rooms not dissimilar to coal cellars of old.

Haha those white people are so paranoid - like all these asian baby-docs are going to remember every single dirty look they receive and pay it back with urethral catheters...or worse.

On rural placements at UNSW:
If you are NOT a rural entry scheme person (ie you are from the city), then you will complete 8 weeks of rural placement over the 6 years (I think it is in one go).
If you are a Rural Student Entry Scheme person, then you are expected to do the 18 month rural placement, which is awesome. You can go to Wagga, Albury, Coffs Harbour or Port Macquarie for this.
The people that go here get better experience, better range of patients, dont have 500 other interns/med students crowding wards and taking patients/surgery opportunities. Because of this, mean marks are higher in the rural schools than in the sydney ones.
Plus you get added advantage of being away from sydney. Fresh air, space, cheaper houses, cheaper beer, etc.
If you aren't a rural entry person, you can also apply to go on this placement (if there are places left).

I want to apply for the rural scheme thingy, where they place you in an area for like 6yrs.....

Ok lets get things straight:
Rural Students Entry Scheme (RSES) is for rural students. If you have lived in a rural area for some/most of your life you can apply for this. There are about 40 RSES HECS places at UNSW.
There is also the Medical Rural Bonded Scholarship Scheme (MRBSS).
Theres just a couple of things with that.
Make sure you read the fine print VERY VERY carefully. From what I understand, you are signing your life away. The first paragraph on its website says this:
"The Medical Rural Bonded Scholarships provide 100 scholarships of approximately $20,000 a year to new medical students prepared to commit to at least six years of rural practice once they complete their basic medical and postgraduate training."
Let me rephrase that bolded bit.
You MUST do 6 YEARS in a RURAL area AFTER you complete MEDICAL SCHOOL AND POSTGRADUATE TRAINING.
Which to me says: AFTER the 6 years of med, you must THEN do your internship/residence, THEN you can practice in a rural area for 6 years.
UNLESS you want to specialise. Because in my interpretation, specialisation is still postgraduate training, and that itself is ANOTHER 5 years after internship/residence.
So you have basically signed away the next 8 to 13/14/15 years of your life depending on what you do after med school.
And if for some reason you dont complete the 6 years, you have to pay back the scholarship. And 120 000 is a lot to come up with.
PLEASE read fine print before you decide on this.
There is another type of place available at UNSW now also, called a 'Bonded to area of workforce shortage', but i dont know anything about this. Except you are bonded to somewhere (not necessarily rural) and there is no $20K scholarship.
Anyway, if you need anything more, PM me.
