You will provide leadership to the clinical team and facilitate effective clinical review mechanisms and quality improvement processes. Delivering and participating in relevant teaching programs for medical officers and other staff attached to the Department, you will contribute to continuing education programs within the ED. Combining clinical and teaching roles, this is a great opportunity to help establish a combined Australasian College for Emergency and Rural Generalist ED training hub with a reputation for high training standards.

Holding a Bachelor of Medicine; Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) or equivalent, you will have appropriate specialist qualifications and be registrable with the Medical Board of Australia as a Medical Practitioner with Specialist registration.
