The Challenge of Change – Early Years Post FRACS This discussion will focus on three aspects regarding the early years of fellowship/consultancy, from the perspective of young Fellows. Firstly the organisation and challenges of an international fellowship in Australia, Canada and the UK. Secondly the organisation of an SMO position and potential ways facilitating this process. Lastly discussion around some of the challenges faced in today’s economic and healthcare environment as a new SMO.
