It is true that there is little information on the web about academic training programmes in Australia. The UK system is itself relatively new and has been developed in response to an international recognition for the need to increase the awareness of academic career pathways amongst junior doctors. Australian representatives have also been involved in the project to increase participation in academic medicine (although I have been able to find anything as official as the UK MMC pathway). Although a few years old now, the following article does contain the details of some Australian professors who have been involved in the project: http://www.mja.com.au/public/issues/181_11_061204/wil10557_fm.html Hi Jarrod.

However, I was wondering if you have any information or resources on academic medical training in Aus. I've done a few searches and it doesn't seem to be as well established out there as here in the UK. Of course Australia doesn't really have a formally centralised training scheme so I suppose there must be informal ways to do such training. Any thoughts?
