Dr Millie Burgraff

Critical Care Trainee

Just wanted to say thank you for your help with my interview prep for the critical care HMO jobs… I used the techniques we went over, went into the interview a lot more confident than I otherwise would, and have been offered a job at my current hospital (they interviewed 20 people for four jobs). It was a worthy investment and I will definitely recommend AdvanceMed to my friends and colleagues! Thanks again!

Frequently Asked Questions About Our AdvanceMed VIP Coaching Programs

Straight Away!

As soon as you make payment you will have access to the coaching platform, all resources, including courses and importantly be able to book in your Strategy Call.

You can of course defer your other coaching sessions if this makes sense. But we do strongly suggest that you have your strategy call as soon as possible.

For a couple of main reasons.
Firstly, in order to ensure that I have enough availability for each client. A lot of activity occurs outside of the coaching sessions. So its important to me that I have the availability to prioritise your needs.
Secondly, in some situations, there may be competition between candidates for certain posts. For example, specialty trainee selection.

Once you have completed payment you will be able to access the course material via the UpCoach Career Doctor Academy coaching platform.

The courses are self-paced. So you don’t need to wait for other students.
(*Whilst we are migrating to the new coaching platform. Some courses may be made available to you through the my.advancemed.com.au site instead).

Coaching is easily booked via our online booking application which is currently Bookay. There is a link to the Bookafy app on your homepage in the coaching portal. With Bookafy you are able to select times and days that suit you. As well as cancel or reschedule, so long as you provide sufficient notice.

All that is required to participate in coaching is that you have access to Zoom. We recommend you do this via your PC or laptop. Reliably wifi or internet is important. Most coaching clients don’t need to purchase a new webcam or microphone but we can advise you on this if you like

The majority of clients have no problems or issues in securing the coaching sessions they want. They generally book well in advance to secure the time they prefer. Anthony’s main coaching times are during week days. However, he does provide some weeknight sessions as well as weekend sessions during peak times.

One of the reasons we limit numbers for this program is in order to ensure you are able to get all your coaching sessions in time.

If you are serious about your next career move and want an intensive, tailored program with expert guidance and advice, and encouragement through your journey then it is likely that this program is for you.

We are very happy for you to sign up straight away for the coaching program. But if you have some doubts we also have the option for you to take the Strategy Call first whilst reserving your spot on the program.

We have helped all manner of Specialist IMGs navigate the career process. The program has everything you need to both prepare for your college assessment as well as apply for positions afterward. Please see the FAQ below for specialties where we recommend you take the strategy call first.

There are a variety of factors that go into whether you may or may not be successful with the specialist recognition process in Australia. If you are a Specialist from any of the Competent Authority countries you will have reasonably good prospects across all specialties and can comfortably sign up for the program.

If you are a SIMG and belong to any of the following categories then we suggest you just take the strategy call first and reserve your spot on the program:

– Obstetrics and Gynaecology
– Any surgical specialty
– Dermatology
– Ophthalmology
– Radiology
– Cardiology

Absolutely. Using the tools available in this program I have assisted many specialty trainees to achieve competitive selection for many different programs, including:

– Urology
– Orthopaedics
– General Surgery
– ENT Surgery
– Cardiothoracic Surgery
– Vascular Surgery
– Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
– Anaesthetics
– Respiratory
– Neurology
– Gastroenterology
– Psychiatry
– General Practice
– Obstetrics and Gynaecology
– Ophthalmology
– Radiology
– Dermatology

Absolutely. This program has all the tools your need whether you are an early career or junior consultant going for their first consultant job or an experienced specialist seeking further career advancement.

Sorry. We cannot make individual modifications to the program. Some clients get more use out of some parts of the program than others. The overall potential value you get from the program far outstrips payment. So you are getting a very good deal.
We have developed this program over the years based on past client experience so we can offer a VIP experience that will meet your needs.

As a business, we try to not have too many services or offerings available. From experience, this just creates confusion for clients who are not sure what service they need. It is also more costly in terms of upkeep of various service lines. And this is why we now offer just one VIP program.

You are able to cancel your VIP membership and VisualCV subscriptions at any time and still enjoy the benefits for the full 12 months. However, we do suggest you hang onto them for a while (see below).

We recommend holding on to both your VIP membership and Visual CV subscription for a few reasons.
Your VIP membership enables you to roll over any unused coaching to the next year, continued access to the full coaching platform and resources, as well as the opportunity to purchase additional discounted coaching.

Your Visual CV license is provided at a big discount from what you would pay on your own. For a few dollars a year you get to keep a record of your CV so you can quickly update it for future job applications. If you cancel and then come back to us later asking us to update your CV it may no longer be available on VIsualCV and the cost for updating may revert back to the cost of a full CV rewrite.

You can absolutely have more coaching if you have run out of sessions. Subject to my coaching availability you are able to purchase additional sessions at the most discounted rate that I offer for coaching.

If you don’t end up using all your coaching or sessions you have the option to roll these over for another year. Unfortunately, due to the tight margins in offering this program, we are unable to offer you a refund for unused sessions.

A session of my time is an hour spent dedicated to your individual client needs.
Coaching sessions run for 45+ minutes and are counted as one session of time.
Consulting work is generally deducted per hour. As a guide:

– CV rewrites generally require 2 sessions (may be 3 for a particularly long CV).
– Cover Letters and Selection Criteria reviews generally require one session.
– College Application reviews for SIMGs generally require 3 sessions.
Responding to chat messages or emails do not incur deductions. CV reviews do no incur a session reduction.

A CV Review includes us reviewing and checking over your CV and providing you feedback in terms of areas for consideration or improvement. You will normally be provided with a 5-10 minute screen capture video highlighting our recommendations. The review is not a full edit of your CV. You get up to 3 reviews of your CV as part of your package (there is no deduction of session time for this). We strongly recommend you put together your CV on Visual CV first before submitting for a review.
