Emergency Medicine Trainees

The Royal Flying Doctor Service South Eastern Section provides emergency medical retrievals to a large portion of rural and regional NSW.

We are looking to recruit Emergency Medicine Trainees for 2017.

This unique and diverse position is based in Dubbo and offers a mix of emergency medical retrievals and emergency medicine. The position is for 12 months and will be 0.5 in Dubbo Emergency Department and 0.5 Retrieval with RFDS concurrently. Both of these sites are accredited with ACEM (6 months training for Emergency Medicine and 6 months for a Special Skills term in Pre-hospital and Retrieval).

The evacuations involve the treatment and transfer of critically ill patients from rural/remote locations in NSW.

We are looking for doctors who have a team focus, exceptional communication skills and a desire to learn emergency medicine skills in an aeromedical retrieval setting.

The position would require the trainee to have advanced airway and vascular access skills and be competent at managing critically ill and ventilated patients. You will receive five weeks annual leave and two weeks study leave per year. You will be well supported with regular medical training and there is tremendous scope to develop your skills as a clinician in a supportive but demanding environment.

Generous salary sacrifice options, housing and employee incentives are also available. Dubbo is a dynamic regional centre with excellent educational, sporting and cultural facilities. It is an emerging wine district and is in easy access of some of outback NSW's greatest attractions. Dubbo is a transport hub with easy access to many centres.

Further information about the position can be obtained from Dr Peter Brendt, peter.brendt@rfdsse.org.au or Dr Randall Greenberg, randall.greenberg@rfdsse.org.au.
