Basic Trainee in Acute Care (previously known as Senior Resident Medical Officer in Acute Care)
The Department of Critical Care Medicine (DCCM) and the Department of Anaesthesia and Perioperative Medicine (DAPM) at the Royal Hobart Hospital offer prevocational positions as Basic Trainee’s in Acute Care. These consist of six months in Intensive Care and six months in Anaesthesia during the one-year tenure. Up to 6 positions are available if there are suitable applicants.
These positions are ONLY for candidates who
- have a minimum of two years full time equivalent postgraduate hospital clinical experience in Australia or New Zealand,
and
- will be no more than post-graduate year 5 or equivalent, during the year of employment.
Applicants who are post-graduate year 6 or more during 2027 will NOT be eligible.
We are looking for doctors with strong clinical skills and knowledge, and excellent communication skills, who have career interest in Intensive Care Medicine, Anaesthesia, Emergency Medicine or Remote and Rural Medicine (ACRRM).
In ICU, Basic Trainees in Acute Care will work day and night shifts under the supervision of Consultant Intensivists and Senior Registrars. They are rostered with the general registrar pool and have similar duties. After hours, they are supported by ICU registrars and on-call but off-site Senior Registrars and Consultants. They should expect to work some rostered overtime. Additionally, they may be rostered to our satellite private ICU, which predominantly cares for high-risk perioperative patients including cardiac, thoracic, neurosurgical and other major surgical cases with some medical admissions. In this role they will work under direct supervision of a Consultant Intensivist.
In Anaesthesia, Basic Trainees in Acute Care work under supervision of a Specialist Anaesthetist within main theatres, the day procedure unit, the acute pain service and pre-admission clinics. They will work day and evening shifts with participation in the weekend after-hours roster, including the acute pain service, when assessed as competent to do so. They also provide general duties in the pre-admission clinic for all surgical specialties approximately 1 day per week.
The RHH has a broad medical and surgical case mix including major trauma, neurosurgery, cardiac surgery, paediatric surgery and obstetrics.
Allocation of term order is determined by the two departments. These positions align with the REGISTRAR term dates, commencing 1 February 2027 – 7th February 2028.
Nb. These positions are not for those who have previously held equivalent positions.
Applicants with extensive prior experience in ICU and/or anaesthesia will be reviewed to determine if suitable for this role, or if better suited to a registrar position. This determination will be at our discretion and is not open to negotiation.
NB: This is a SRMO-equivalent role and is not an ANZCA training position.
Separate recruitment processes exist for registrars/trainees in anaesthesia and intensive care.
