General Fellowship at Canberra

6-12 month post

February / August start dates

Applicants must have Australian citizenship or permanent residency status (this includes New Zealand citizens and permanent residents) or have an Australian working visa with current experience as a medical practitioner in Australia.

====================================================

The Canberra Hospital’s Department of Anaesthesia, Perioperative Medicine and Pain Management is a busy tertiary referral and trauma hospital with over 19,000 surgical procedures performed annually. This Provisional Fellowship will enable the trainee to develop their skills as a general anaesthetist with ample exposure across the gamut of surgical subspecialties serviced by our Department. This includes all surgical subspecialties (excluding transplant) and including paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology. Where possible, arrangements can be made to facilitate exposure within the trainee’s particular areas of interest. Whilst not a regional specific fellowship, trainees with an interest in regional anaesthesia will have the opportunity to develop these skills through allocation to elective and trauma orthopaedic lists. Trainees participate in pre-admission clinics and pain medicine and are encouraged to develop their teaching and supervisory skills. Non-clinical/ clinical support time is provided and encouraged to be utilised in the pursuit of quality assurance and improvement projects.

At the completion of this Provisional Fellowship, Provisional Fellows are expected to have gained the competence and confidence of a well-rounded general anaesthetist.

Fellows participate in the after hours roster, which includes evenings, weekends and night shifts.

================================================

Positions are advertised on the ACT Health website in July each year for commencement in January of the following year. Positions are advertised in May for commencement in August of the same year. Selection interviews are usually conducted in early September for short-listed candidates or July for mid-year intake.
