The Role

You will be providing day-to-day medical care for patients under the supervision and direction of the hospital’s experienced senior medical officers. This health service understands the importance of continued broad based clinical exposure and so offers a wide range of rotations for RMOs.

Please note:

  1. There are 4 rotations over the 12 months, each one 12-13 weeks in length.

  4. Some rotations are in more rural locations, such as Bega and Goulburn.
