An opportunity exists for
Emergency Medicine Registrars to join our
Emergency Department from
May and August 2
023.
Details of Department
Austin Emergency Department is one of Melbourne's busiest, seeing around 90,000 patients annually. We have access to a wide range of rotations for our Doctors.
For Registrars, we offer the standard rotations as well as exclusive Special Skills Terms (see below) that are available only at the Austin and boast regular hours with no night shifts.
Whilst employed in the Emergency Department, registrars will usually work a rotating roster including day, evening and night duty. The roster will involve weekend and Public Holiday duty. There is no on-call component, although this may occur whilst on rotation to other departments.
We have experience arranging terms at other hospitals such as The Royal Victorian Eye and Ear hospital, The Royal Children's Hospital, The Alfred, The Royal Melbourne, Northern Health and Cabrini.
We have built one of Melbourne's biggest and most effective Short Stay Units where opportunities arise to practice and learn clinical medicine in a more controlled environment.
Our Fast Track area is staffed by Advanced Musculoskeletal Physiotherapists, Nurse Practitioners as well as Doctors and provides ample opportunities to develop procedural skills.
The Emergency Department is separated geographically into Adults and Paediatrics; there are ample opportunities to work shifts in the dedicated paediatric area to work towards completion of the paediatric logbook.
The paediatric ED has also been given provisional accreditation with ACEM as a Paediatric Emergency (PEM) training site with it's own dedicated education stream and opportunity to work towards the requirements of the joint PEM program.
The Austin Emergency Department has a strong focus on Toxicology, Research and Quality and there are always projects running concurrently.
It is one of very few EDs in Australia with a dedicated Professor/Director of EM research.
Doctors in Training are strongly encouraged to participate in current research or to start a project of their own including those to satisfy the research component of 4.10 projects.
Our Emergency Department values the wellbeing and health of its staff and has a wellness committee (TeamED), the ED Social Club and a departmental peer support program (WEEPS) available for all staff to participate in as they wish.
We value and support our registrars by having registrar representatives participate in the fortnightly Emergency Physician meetings and roster Emergency Physicians from 0800 to 2300 daily and on-call 2300 to 0800 to provide clinical support.
