Eastern Health

Eastern Health is one of Melbourne's largest public health services.

We provide a range of emergency, surgical, medical and general healthcare services, including maternity, palliative care, mental health, drug and alcohol, residential care, community health and state-wide specialist services to people and communities that are diverse in culture, age, socio-economic status, population and healthcare needs.

About the role

The Medical Education Officer (MEO) is a team member in the Postgraduate Medical Education Unit (PMEU).

This role includes responsibilities across 5 sites hosting junior medical staff (Interns, HMO and Registrar) rotations: Angliss Hospital, Box Hill Hospital, Maroondah Hospital, Peter James Centre and Wantirna Health.

The MEO may be required to be based at the different sites of Box Hill Hospital, Angliss Hospital and Maroondah Hospital, with ad-hoc visits to other sites as required.

As a member of the PMEU team the MEO will be responsible for developing, facilitating and participating in processes for the delivery of junior medical staff (JMS) orientation, education and training, mandatory training compliance, supervision and assessment, support and advocacy.

Apart from Eastern Health (EH) orientation, which includes registrars, this role is primarily related to prevocational Interns and HMOs. The MEO may also participate in accreditation, administration, quality improvement and research work undertaken by PMEU.

As a team member of PMEU, the MEO will share to ensure EH processes meet the requirements for national and state accreditation standards, the Australian Curriculum Framework for Junior Doctors (ACFJD), the Australian Medical Council (AMC) National Intern Training Framework (NITF) global outcome statements and the Postgraduate Medical Council of Victoria (PMCV) standards for prevocational junior doctor programs.

This position reports to the Director of PMEU, and hence to the Executive Director - Research / Chief Medical Officer (CMO).
