About the session

Find out what fellowship at RCH is really like

This inaugural town hall is a chance to hear directly from current and recent fellows, meet members of the consultant body, and ask the questions that don't get answered on a job ad. Whether you are weighing up a 6 or 12 month fellowship, considering a PICU or NICU rotation, or simply curious about life as a paediatric anaesthesia fellow at RCH, you are warmly invited to join us.

We will share an overview of the fellowship structure, two short personal stories from recent fellows, and then break into smaller rooms so you can ask questions in a more informal setting before regrouping for a final discussion.
