The opportunity to travel and practise one's skills in a variety of settings is an attractive aspect of the medical profession. However, in the current atmosphere of competition for jobs and structured career paths, deviation from which may mean losing one's place on the ladder, the prospects of working abroad are limited and the decision to do so often risky. One way round this is to arrange jobs on an exchange basis for a limited period. This is most convenient where the countries involved have similar teaching programmes and reciprocal arrangements for college recognition: in the case of psychiatry this includes Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada and Hong Kong.
