    Guest Episode on Fellowship with Ashwini Pondicherry and Jamie Crichton

    In this week's 'Christmas Special' episode I am joined by Ashwini Pondicherry and Jamie Crichton to reflect on our first year of fellowship. We discuss some of the good things about this transition, but also some of the more difficult and formative aspects and how we negotiated them. The step from registrar to fellow/consultant is a HUGE one and we hope that by talking about some of these topics it will make it slightly easier for you. We also discuss the application processes for ANZHPBA, Breast Surg ANZs and CSSANZ (ANZTBCRS) post-fellowship training programs.
