BASIC INFORMATION<br />
Echuca Regional Health is a public hospital located<br />
just 200 kilometres north from Melbourne, in the<br />
beautiful riverside location of Echuca-Moama. After<br />
a $65 million redevelopment completed in August<br />
2015, Echuca Regional Health comprises 113 beds<br />
providing a comprehensive range of services including<br />
emergency, medical, sub-acute, surgical, maternity,<br />
paediatric, urology, orthopaedic, ophthalmology,<br />
dental, chemotherapy, and haemodialysis<br />
services. Echuca Regional Health also encompasses<br />
a residential aged care service, Glanville Village, which<br />
accommodates 60 residents.<br />
The centre is well-supported by both the University<br />
of Melbourne and La Trobe University. The facility<br />
comprises multiple teaching rooms, clinical skills<br />
lab, dedicated computer room for private study and a<br />
main hall for seminars and larger workshops.<br />
REASONS TO APPLY<br />
• Interns work in a supportive sub-regional hospital<br />
environment. Clinical supervisors and educators<br />
support a small team of junior medical officers, so<br />
they get to know you personally.<br />
• Comprehensive orientation provided for each term,<br />
including access to e-learning programs.<br />
• The broad based experience available through the<br />
Echuca Intern Network provides an ideal generalist<br />
grounding, whatever a doctor’s future career<br />
aspirations may be.<br />
• No night shifts for Interns, and on-site<br />
accommodation is available<br />
