through a centralised recruitment process. Through<br />
this process, all interns are employed by one of the<br />
four Primary Employing Health Services (PEHS):<br />
Fiona Stanley Hospital (FSH), Sir Charles Gairdner<br />
Hospital (SCGH), Royal Perth Hospital (RPH) and the<br />
Western Australian Country Health Service (WACHS).<br />
