We here at Central Coast LHD wish to extend a very warm welcome to any prospective eligible applicants for the Wyong Medical Education special skills placement. Those already working in the district will know that it is a highly popular term with excellent trainee-satisfaction. For external applicants, below is a brief synopsis of the term structure, eligibility and curriculum contents.
This term is undertaken as an ACEM accredited Special Skills Term at 0.5 FTE paired with 0.5 FTE in Emergency Medicine. Both fractions are undertaken entirely at Wyong Public Hospital Emergency Department. The term can be undertaken as either a six- or twelve-month placement. Currently there is capacity for one trainee on the term. Consequently, the term offers a 1:1 supervision by the primary supervisor. The trainee ought to be in their final stage of the FACEM training program, TS3 or TS4.
The trainee will receive teaching in medical educational theory through a curriculum of modules that are delivered face-to-face and involve pre-reading, peer discussion and reflective practice. The trainee will gain experience in clinical teaching and supervision through a diverse range of opportunities, delivering teaching to medical students, JMOs, Registrars and allied health staff. This will be in a great variety of settings, ranging from the bedside to the lecture theatre and SIM lab.
Aside from attendance, the trainee will be required to undertake an educational project (one that involves the original authorship and execution of a training resource that is high-caliber, multimodal and of value to the department) and to write a reflective portfolio (in any medium, one that chronicles the trainee’s learning and experiential journey during the term),
The successful applicant will have a roster that is primarily written centred on the SSP, with clinical ED shifts adapted around these. The trainee will have a dedicated private desk in the Staff Specialist office space. The term is governed by the SSP guideline and descriptors as laid out by ACEM in their published guideline V7G72, with which prospective candidates should be familiar.
Any enquiries can be directed to the term’s supervisors by email to [email protected] and [email protected]
