About the opportunity

We are seeking BPT3 Physician Registrars to work in our Internal Medicine teams at Werribee Mercy Hospital. Rotations to subspecialty experience are expanding rapidly. The positions are based at Werribee Mercy Hospital which is the fastest growing region in Melbourne.

The hospital serves a diverse community which permits a broad range of clinical presentations at varying stages. The opportunity to learn from this is unparalleled in metropolitan Melbourne due to the range of presentations and the focus of the hospital on providing excellent generalist care with subspecialty input when required.

The hospital holds level 2 BPT accreditation from the RACP. The Director of Physician Education is supported by the Director of General Medicine and Deputy to provide a strong education program to prepare for examination in collaboration with our network hospitals. Prospective examinees will find the diverse presentations excellent preparation for the clinical exam.

The physician body is rapidly expanding with generalists supported by a growing group of subspecialists with a strong interest in teaching, forming an excellent resource for clinical exam preparation.
