Introduction to the PEP Specialist Program
The Practice Experience Program (PEP), presented by BluGibbon, is designed to assist specialist doctors in transitioning smoothly into the Australian healthcare system.

Benefits of the PEP Specialist Program
The PEP Specialist Program offers several advantages, including exemption from Level 1 Supervision and a smoother transition into the Australian healthcare system with guidance from BluGibbon's expert team.
Suitability of Certain Countries
Doctors from countries with healthcare systems similar to Australia, such as Hong Kong and Malaysia, often find the transition particularly easy due to similarities in general practice flow.
Travel and Family Considerations
Moving to Australia as a specialist offers ease of travel, especially for those from countries with direct flights like Hong Kong. Australia also provides a safe and vibrant culture for families, and BluGibbon can assist with the integration process.
