In this episode, we discuss some of the challenges that IMG doctors face on their journey to working as a GP in Australia. We mostly talk about the standard pathway and what clinics need to know before trying to recruit an IMG, and how they can support them to thrive in their new role.

In the 19th Century there was an increasing numbers of Black Tumours reported in medical literature - described as Melanose in 1806 when Rene Laennec published that the Blackness of these tumours was not related to black carbon deposits found in the lungs of patients upon autopsy.

By mid 20th Century, a more evidence based approach was taken.

Today, through molecular biology advances, we know genetic mutations are important in the genesis of tumours such as melanoma.
