Paediatric Registrars
We have 7 registrar positions, one of which is a community registrar position funded under the ESTP scheme. We offer
trainees: Exposure to Aboriginal Health/ a spectrum of diseases you have probably only read about/ severity of diseases
unlikely to be encountered in major cities. You will have opportunities to better understand the nexus between social
environment and disease/ visit remote communities and retrieve patients with the RFDS/ complete community and rural
training requirements for general paediatrics/ complete projects/ accept increasing responsibility for patient management.
We provide good consultant cover/ commitment to teaching and supervision/ a good roster. Preference will be given to
candidates seeking 12 month appointments.

Royal Childrens Hospital Centre for Adolescent Health

For the 2013 clinical year the Centre for Adolescent Health, Royal Childrens Hospital, Melbourne has two training positions
on offer, both of which satisfy the requirements for developmental and psychosocial training:
Adolescent Medicine Fellow: an excellent training position which is clinically focused and an integral part of the team
providing inpatient and outpatient general medical care to adolescent patients of the hospital. The trainee functions as a
junior consultant on the ward service roster (supported a 2nd on-call consultant) and is also part of the RCH Eating Disorders
team. The clinical case load is mixed and varied with complex medical and psycho-social presentations. This position is ideal
both for trainees wanting to pursue a career in adolescent medicine and for those pursuing a general or subspecialty path
but wanting some extra expertise with adolescents.
High Risk Youth Fellow: A fascinating opportunity, with a mix of clinical service, policy development, communication and
liaison responsibilities. The clinical service components are at off-site services provided by the RCH: the Young Peoples
Health Service (for homeless youth in the Melbourne CBD) and Adolescent Forensic Health Service (working with Youth
Justice clients- ie outpatients for inpatients). There will be time spent at the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service (Fitzroy)
which will be a mix of clinical service, policy writing and liaison. Hours are 9-5 M-F, with no expectation but the opportunity to
participate in the ward service roster by negotiation.
These positions are designed for post-exam trainees (with those sitting in 2012 welcome to apply) and will satisfy RACP D&P
training, elective general paediatric (or other specialty) time and some CCH training requirements. Multidisciplinary team is a
feature for both positions and supervision is excellent. Annual leave will be at a mutually convenient time.
In 2013 the two positions will be combined with hospital and community opportunities divided equally between the two
trainees. One will spend time at Youth Justice, one at the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service and both will provide service to
marginalised youth in the CBD and provide outpatient and inpatient service, including work with the eating disorders team.
This arrangement has been a success in 2012.

Wellington Hospital is a large tertiary referral teaching hospital, located centrally in the heart of Wellington city. Medical
registrars are based in Wellington with rotations through Kenepuru Hospital (a level 1 hospital, 20 minutes north of
Wellington) and Hutt Hospital (a level 2 hospital, 30 minutes drive north from Wellington). All subspecialties are offered across
the hospital sites. Trainees rotate across the sites to gain experience of working in different environments.
Basic Trainees
Wellington, Hutt Valley and Wairarapa hospitals provide an excellent environment for basic physician training with rotations
available in general medicine, and in subspecialties, including General Medicine; Infectious Diseases; Endocrine; Cardiology;
Gastroenterology; Blood and Cancer; Neurology; Renal; Respiratory; AT &R; Geriatrics and Rheumatology.
Registrars intending to sit the FRACP exam will find a comprehensive and coordinated training programme, with weekly
exam-focussed tutorials and guidance from both senior registrars and consultants. A mock written and clinical exam is
organised, along with weekly short case teaching and a long case.
Wellington and Hutt hospitals have a consistent record of exam success, and a very high pass rate for the written
examination. There are options for job-sharing and part-time training to facilitate and support exam preparation.
Training costs associated with the examination are met by the hospital, and include books and exam preparation courses, if
the trainee wishes to attend.
Advanced Trainees
Advanced training in subspecialties is available in: Allergy and Immunology; Respiratory & Sleep Medicine (including a
dedicated Sleep Medicine registrar); Cardiology; Gastroenterology; Rheumatology; Medical Oncology; Clinical & Laboratory
Haematology; Intensive Care; Nephrology; Infections Diseases and Microbiology; Neurology; Palliative Care; Endocrinology
and Chemical Pathology; Clinical Genetics and Geriatrics.
The General Medical service has four dedicated advanced training positions which allow the trainee to choose any
combination of subspecialty clinics to combine with acute ward-based general medicine, supported by a basic trainee
medical registrar and house officers. Time is available for research and audit activity. The hospitals have a strong relationship
with the University of Otago, and trainees also provide teaching for medical students and junior doctors.
All trainees are strongly encouraged to attend relevant conferences and courses, and leave is provided for this purpose.
General
Social activities are organised by trainees, including social sports teams; consultant vs. junior staff matches; regular dinners
and social evenings. There is a director of physician training at both Wellington and Hutt hospitals, and chief residents
at Wellington and Hutt hospitals. They liaise with management about training issues and clinical care, which means a
responsive and adaptable environment is fostered within the hospitals.
