Resident Medical Officers (RMO) 2018/2019

Prescript is looking for Resident Medical Officers (RMOs) with Australian hospital experience for a number of fixed term contract positions at a tertiary referral hospital starting as soon as possible until February 2019. Doctors who currently hold Limited or Provisional registration with AHPRA are encouraged to apply.

• Rotations in Emergency and Medicine are available
• Competitive salary and benefits
• Supportive training environment and access to structured teaching programs
• Welcoming and friendly city with excellent amenities and transport links

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. A special effort is made to ensure that all RMOs have access to rotations that are going to contribute to the accreditation of the terms for their career progression. Please note that no surgical terms are currently available.

The Hospital

The Canberra Hospital is a 600-bed tertiary referral centre, serving a population of 650,000 from the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and surrounding South-eastern New South Wales (NSW). It supports all major acute specialties apart from major burns and organ transplantation.

The Location

Known as “The Bush Capital” due to its planned design in a rural setting, Canberra is a very liveable city with excellent restaurants, high quality schools and beautiful parklands throughout. Short commutes are the norm, leaving you more time to spend enjoying the great outdoors and perhaps cycling, skiing, running or bush walking. Living in the capital means that you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to cultural attractions including galleries, museums and live music.

Sound Interesting?

If you are looking for varied experience within a teaching hospital and you currently hold Limited, Provisional or General registration with AHPRA, get in touch with Marcia Beere on 0416 544 788 or marcia@prescript.com.au to find out more.

QUINTESSENTIAL CANBERRA

Canberra is often overlooked by visitors to Australia in favour or Sydney and Melbourne, but it is the best location to explore Australia's culture and heritage through its many galleries, museums and the old & new federal parliament buildings.

Known as the ‘Bush Capital’, it is surrounded by forest, farmland and nature reserves.  Canberra is a planned city with wide boulevards lined with large buildings and green open areas surrounding spacious suburbs.  The focal point is Lake Burley Griffin, with its impressive water jet fountain.

THINGS TO DO AND SEE

The Australian War Memorial – very moving with exhibits from dioramas of battlefields to modern interactive displays

New Parliament House – daily, free guided tours. See the House of Representatives and the Senate and stand on top, under the giant flagpole and admire the view.

Galleries – the National Portrait Gallery and the National Gallery of Australia are great to explore and show key moments and people which help tell the story about Australian identity.

The annual Floriade Festival – flowers (in their thousands), plants, music and market stalls. It gets incredibly busy, but worth going for the atmosphere.  This year it runs from Saturday 17 September until Sunday 16 October 2016.

Lake Burley Griffin – put on your trainers and cycle around its 35-kilometre perimeter, or if that is too ambitious you can walk/jog certain scenic sections.  From a certain look out point you can see Yarralumla which is the official residence of the Governor-General and where The Queen stays on her visits.

FOOD & DRINK

Canberra Wineries - Did you know that within a 40 minute drive there are 140 vineyards with more than 33 wineries? Take a tour and sample some distinctive, award-winning cool climate wines. Click here for a fun list to work your way through....

Jervis Bay is a two hour drive from Canberra on the New South Wales south coast.  Famous for its white, sandy beaches.
