BASIC INFORMATION<br />

hospital and a principal tertiary referral hospital,<br />
which specialises in heart/ lung transplantation, bone<br />
marrow transplantation, cardiology, oncology, HIV<br />
medicine, respiratory medicine, mental health and<br />
drug and alcohol services.<br />

Centrally located in Darlinghurst, St. Vincent’s Hospital<br />
sits on the edge of Sydney’s business district, close to<br />
major transport and superb cafés.<br />
REASONS TO APPLY<br />
In terms of clinical exposure, we offer experience in<br />
a number of unique specialties such as transplant<br />
medicine. We have an interesting demographic of<br />
patients offering Junior Medical Officers exposure<br />
to homeless health, Psychiatry, and those suffering<br />
from drugs of addiction. In terms of our structured<br />
education program, we offer a weekly teaching<br />
program (following the unified lecture series),<br />
Teaching on the Run, a JMO Mentoring Program,<br />
Peer Led Teaching, Surgical Skills labs and Simulation<br />
Sessions. Our hospital does not have Paediatrics or<br />
Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Off site secondment<br />
terms for paediatrics are at Sydney Childrens and<br />
Canterbury Hospitals (for PGY2 only). Obstetrics and<br />
Gynaecology is available at Wagga Wagga during<br />
PGY 2 year.<br />
St Vincent’s has a long and proud history and is driven<br />
by the values of the Mary Aikenhead Ministries in all<br />
that we do for our patients and staff.<br />
