Internship Guide 2020

At the PA, we provide twice-a-week lunchtime resident
training sessions with topics based on interns’
educational needs, as well as a weekly medical Grand
Round program and weekly surgical Grand Round
program. In your core ED, surgical and medical terms,
there is a dedicated teaching program designed to
focus on that aspect of your medical training. Your
wellbeing is important and the Medical Education
Unit also provides career guidance, buddied ward call
to help you fly solo and facilitates a peer mentorship
program. The Medical Education office has an opendoor
policy and is available to provide support and
assistance with professional and personal matters.
In terms of the campus, the Woolloongabba region
is undergoing major redevelopment with the Cross
River Rail and Brisbane Metro projects which will
modernise and improve public transport, housing
and The Gabba (cricket and AFL) stadium. It is a very
urbanised area and there is access to a large shopping
complex across the road, three car parks, public
transport (it’s well-connected to the bus network and
Dutton Park train station is nearby), and connected to
the bikeways. There are also shower facilities and a
child care centre. Hospital facilities include a doctors’
common room, doctors’ locker room, library, gym,
chapel, prayer room, canteen, cafes and newsagency.
Great coffee options are available within the hospital
as well as a short stroll away at the TRI building.
The Junior Doctors’ Society has a strong presence
and arrange regular social events and development
activities.
If you’re looking for a fast-paced environment, the
big hospital experience and to be able to read your
colleagues’ notes, then the PA is your hospital.
