About the Role
This is a six-month (03/08/2026 to 31/01/2027) role to cover a vacancy. There is flexibility to match your career interests and your current stage of training, with the particular clinical rotation that you will undertake. Smooth transition from the 2026 training year to the 2027 training year will be feasible.
The General Medicine Advanced Trainee role is recognised by the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) as an accredited position for advanced training in the specialty area of General and Acute Care Medicine (GACM). Clinical rotations are available in a wide range of medical departments of the health service, in different settings that include hospitals and community. Specialty rotations are available in Intensive Care, Palliative Care, Haematology, Oncology, Nephrology, Respiratory, Cardiology, and Geriatrics. Beyond service delivery, the Advanced Trainee role is designed to participate in activities that contribute to the standard of the health service, such as leadership, research, teaching, quality improvement, and innovation.
At Monash Health General Medicine, the approach of the advanced training program is to tailor a 36-month end-to-end training map for those who commence their advanced training here, with a view to ensuring fulfilment of RACP requirements, and providing clinical experiences that match the trainee's interests. Those who are already part-way progressed through their GACM advanced training at other health services, are also most welcome to apply, and care will be taken to manage the outstanding RACP requirements and support transition to independent consultant physician practice.
