Tasmania<br />
In Tasmania you can have it all: fabulous<br />
lifestyle, stunning environment, professional<br />
development, broad clinical exposure <strong>and</strong><br />
a friendly <strong>and</strong> supportive bunch of work<br />
colleagues. You will find the scope of work<br />
stimulating <strong>and</strong> the caseloads varied. You will<br />
also enjoy an unbeatable work/life balance<br />
that allows you to fully immerse yourself in<br />
Tasmania’s vibrant culture <strong>and</strong> breathtaking<br />
natural beauty. If you’re an intern, RMO or<br />
registrar you’d be crazy if you didn’t take a<br />
look at Tasmania.<br />
We are committed to raising the health <strong>and</strong><br />
well being of our community <strong>and</strong> we are<br />
committed to helping our staff be the best<br />
they can. <strong>Intern</strong>s in Tasmania need to register<br />
with AHPRA. Further information about<br />
registration in Tasmania can be found at www.<br />
medicalboard.gov.au.<br />
If you are registering for the first time in<br />
Tasmania <strong>and</strong> you know, or have been told<br />
by <strong>Medical</strong> Council Secretariat staff, that you<br />
meet the requirements for registration, please<br />
make sure that you make an appointment<br />
before coming to the Secretariat offices with<br />
your relevant documentation.<br />
Our <strong>Intern</strong>s <strong>and</strong> Resident <strong>Medical</strong> Officers<br />
are streamed into Medicine, Surgery or<br />
General training, <strong>and</strong> Registrars in general <strong>and</strong><br />
specialty streams.<br />
Our general training acute care program is<br />
uniquely aimed at those seeking specialised<br />
courses in rural general practice, anaesthetics<br />
<strong>and</strong> emergency medicine. We also partner<br />
with the University for a Rural <strong>and</strong> Remote<br />
Placement Program which is conducted on<br />
a statewide basis. Placements are located at<br />
Scottsdale, Georgetown <strong>and</strong> Clarence.<br />
Each major Tasmanian hospital runs an<br />
active <strong>Intern</strong> Education Program which is<br />
facilitated by the Directors of Clinical Training<br />
<strong>and</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> Education Advisors. This<br />
program provides support for the personal<br />
welfare of <strong>Intern</strong>s <strong>and</strong> ensures that they<br />
receive quality supervision, feedback <strong>and</strong><br />
experiences consistent with the requirements<br />
of registration.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 2013 intake will be advertised in May<br />
<strong>2012</strong>. Application forms <strong>and</strong> information will<br />
be available on our website from this date.<br />
