Abstract

Australian healthcare is greatly enriched by its overseas-trained doctors (OTDs). There is no national approach to support the integration of OTDs into the workforce. The problem areas are well defined--the need for better information access; better orientation to our healthcare systems and the workplace; improving communication with patients and healthcare workers; standardised assessment of knowledge and skills; and education and training support--so, let's get on with it.
