I do, of course, understand that these live-in STEP courses are... Refugee camps. For people who are not allowed to study wherever they came from. People whose own country would not allow them a sufficiently quiet environment in which they could focus for the work. People whose own country would not teach them the clinical (or other) skills to practice Medicine.
I also understand that your STEP one score it supposed to help you decide which specialities you will pursue matching to... To help give people some time to come to terms with whatever has been... Uh.... Previously alloted. I understand that people probably choose which Med school to go to on the basis of the STEP one score averages the school manages to produce...
The refugee thing is designed for people who are in danger of failing. In other words.. The jobs they are having trouble finding anyone to fill.
A lot of people train med and never practice. I guess because they don't match to anything...
I guess you try and and see what differnet countries will offer you.
NZ has made it clear as they possibly can to me that they would prefer me to live as a nameless slave babysitting everyone elses kid... Just giving it away... Whatever the bullies want whenever the bullies want... Keep the bullies eyes on me. So good for OTHER people. They see more value in that than in allowing me to be... Egalitarian we just are not. I don't think we ever will be.
I am cross about the technology thing, here.
I strongly suspect that obtaining a quiet testing centre is about paying additional for the 'practice test' and during that I can say to the people that I am concerned about noise. That's not... Bribery... Extortion... I can't think what else to call it... That's just the ... Uh... Processing fee. Yeah right.
