What you'll be doing
This is a 12 month, four term rotational position within the Acute Care Senior Resident Medical Officer (SRMO) program, providing experience for JMO trainees wishing to develop a baseline practical skillset for the management of patients in the acute inpatient and GP setting. The trainee will be part of a departmental roster.
This position would suit trainees considering a career in rural general practice as a Rural Generalist, and in the acute care specialties of ED, Intensive Care, and Anaesthesia. Trainees will be given responsibilities and opportunities for autonomous practice commensurate with their experience, and similar to that of a junior registrar. This will be accompanied by appropriate supervision, training and support to enable development of relevant skills during the training year.
Our program begins with a comprehensive orientation designed to familiarize you with our hospital's operations, culture, and will ensure a baseline level of competency at core skills required for the position. You will benefit from the weekly training program during the year, which will include hands-on clinical experiences, simulation-based education, interactive workshops, and integration into our multidisciplinary teams. The teaching program will be complemented by ongoing mentorship from experienced senior medical staff, ensuring you receive personalized guidance and support.
The critical care program is 12 months long, with 3 month terms in each rotation. There are two different options for terms:
- Option 1: ICU x2 terms, ED, Anaesthetics
- Option 2: ED x2 terms, Anaesthetics, ICU
Preferences for each option will be taken into consideration and will be discussed at interview.
The program is based in South East Regional Hospital, a 100 bed facility on the south coast of NSW, with one Anaesthetic rotation to Moruya District Hospital. The Anaesthetic rotation also includes a component of time in general practice.
Selection Criteria:
- MBBS or equivalent, and evidence of current registration with the Medical Board of Australia.
- Must have completed at least two postgraduate years training including a minimum 12-months experience in an Australian Public Hospital or equivalent (not as an Observer).
- Evidence of satisfactory completion of at least 2 JMO terms within an acute care setting, or demonstrated equivalent experience, within the last 12 months.
- Demonstrated ability to work effectively as part of a multi-disciplinary team in the planning, delivery, and coordination of patient care.
- Sufficient clinical experience to undertake the key accountabilities for this role.
- Excellent clinical knowledge, skills, and team work, with demonstrated ability to work both independently within a supervised complex clinical environment and as part of a multidisciplinary team.
- Ability to recognise the acutely unwell patient and to initiate immediate management and institute Advanced Life Support, with a current ALS2 or equivalent qualification.
- Advanced organisational and time management skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities in a complex environment. Valid Working with Children Check and cleared National Police Check.
