We’re excited to share a great opportunity to connect with psychiatrists and trainees. In collaboration with the Psychiatry Interest Forum (PIF), we’re running an informal networking series designed to give you practical, real‑world insight into psychiatry careers and training pathways.

Previous sessions have explored psychiatry subspecialties, common myths and misconceptions, and the College Fellowship program. It’s a fantastic chance to meet psychiatrists and trainees, ask questions, and get a clearer sense of the breadth of the specialty.

The series includes three 1‑hour sessions held over consecutive weeks from late September to early October, offered in person in Brisbane and/or online (TBC).

If you’d like to participate, please complete the EOI as soon as possible:
