This program is coordinated outside the SA Medical Education and Training Unit centralised recruitment processes. Please contact the relevant Local Health Networks using details below for further information.
This program is the entry level (first year) for paediatric training. The program includes rotations in General Paediatrics, Emergency, Surgery, Neonatal Medicine and Relieving.
You will not be required to submit a cover letter with your application, but rather answer some questions as mandatory fields of the application form. You will have the opportunity to upload your CV and any other supporting documentation at the time of application.
Applicants shortlisted will be required to undertake several tasks which may include answering clinical scenario questions, multiple choice questions and clinical task/s. Each candidates application will be scored, as will their level of diligence and accuracy in completing the required documentation, and professionalism during the process. These will be used with the face-to-face interview, to enable us to develop a thorough assessment of your experience and capabilities. It also enables us to provide advice to those unsuccessful shortlisted candidates who request feedback.
Applicants may wish to bring a portfolio of supporting evidence to interview to further support their application.
Applicants should also note that the RACP Paediatric Training Program is run by a State-wide Network, comprising Network supervisors who represent each of the hospitals that offer Paediatric Training (LMH, FMC & WCH). If you are successful in gaining a position, the Network panel will negotiate the site allocation with you in accordance with your training and service needs.
For more information on RACP training positions please contact Dr Ben Saxon and Dr Drago Bratkovic at Women’s and Children’s Hospital (WCH) or Dr Meredith Forsyth at Flinders Medical Centre (FMC).
Registrars already in the RACP training program should contact the SA Paediatric training network.
