Critical Care HMO

1 month ago


Melbourne, Australia Western Health Full time

About the Role

There are four (4) Critical Care HMO positions. The year comprises of the following rotations:

Two six week blocks of anaesthetics at Williamstown, one in the first 6 months of the year and the other in the second 6 months.  Occasionally the theatres at Williamstown are closed, in which case the resident is rotated to Footscray or Sunshine campuses.

Two six week blocks of nights/relieving.  The nights are generally covering Williamstown Hospital. There is no after-hours operating at Williamstown, so the night shift involves cover of a medical and surgical ward. The relieving blocks can cover any campus of Western Health.

Three months ICU at Sunshine - 13 bed Intensive Care Unit. Given the location and demographics of Sunshine, there are often some very interesting medical and surgical cases in our ICU.

Three months Emergency Medicine at Sunshine campus, one of Victorian’s busiest emergency departments.

By splitting the anaesthetic rotation each of the four HMOs are provided the opportunity to do some anaesthetics in the lead-up to applications and interviews for the following year's positions.

The selection process for these positions is highly competitive. The positions are awarded on the basis of CV, references and interview. As Western Health only interviews around one fifth of applicants for the position, it is important that applicants highlight on their CV all relevant clinical experience, courses, academic awards/honours, research experience, philanthropic work and other hospital involvement. Everyone receiving an interview will be required to provide evidence of all items on their CV.

Although the Critical Care HMOs will always be rostered with a consultant during their anaesthetic rotation, we are keen to see the successful applicants step up and take on a junior registrar approach to their work. For this reason professionalism, initiative, willingness to learn and reliability are paramount.

You must ensure that you upload your cover letter and CV at the time of submitting your online application (Google Application Form).

Please ensure that the Referee Assessment Form is downloaded and forwarded to your 3x Referees for completion. Please ensure that the completed form is emailed or uploaded to the Google Form application by the nominated closing date as this is a very important step in the shortlisting process.
