Saturday cases with Consultant Physicians, and weekday short case roster with Advanced Trainees.

As a large city hospital on the outer edge of Sydney, Campbelltown Hospital offers the complex case mix and specialty-based hospital structure of tertiary hospital, as well as the flat hierarchy and friendliness of a country or regional hospital.

General Medicine Trainees are welcomed as an important part of the hospital, and can expect to develop close relationships with the Consultant Physicians for whom they work.

There is a track record of General Medicine Trainees moving on to Advanced Training in their chosen speciality within Campbelltown Hospital and beyond.
