About the role

The PGY2 HMO role offers diverse training through rotations across multiple units and is accredited under the National Framework for Prevocational Medical Training. Upon successful completion, trainees will receive a PGY2 Certificate of Completion.

Term planners align with the National Framework, including three preferenced terms and one cover term with a 5-week annual leave block. The role also requires participation in after-hours, on-call, and recall duties.

Located next to Deakin University Clinical School, you’ll have opportunities to supervise and teach students both in the ward and classroom. The Medical Education Special Interest group offers the “Near Peer Teaching Program,” along with Teaching on The Run courses and simulation teaching mentorship.
