Traineeship

Understanding the risks and benefits of working in a private rheumatology practice can give young trainees a better chance at job satisfaction and career success, according to a speaker at the CSRO Fellows Conference.

Living simply and cheaply in the first years after medical training can set young rheumatologists on the course for financial stability later in life, according to a speaker at the CSRO Fellows Conference.

Trainee physicians were at high risk for burnout and stress, which supports the need for mitigation-focused organizational interventions, according to results of a systematic review and meta-analysis published in JAMA Network Open.

Two studies focused on the impact COVID-19 on endoscopy trainees, showing increased anxiety and burnout, and offered ways for trainees to continue their education until training is resumed.

To celebrate the diamond jubilee 60th anniversary of the Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology and to support young ophthalmologists attending the 35th APAO Congress, for the first time in history, the APAO is launching its Young Ophthalmologists Travel Grants to up to five residents in training or fellows in the Asia-Pacific region. Each successful applicant will receive US$1,000 if they live outside the host country of the 35th APAO Congress, which is China, whereas those who live in the host country will receive US$300.
