Public Hospitals in the Illawarra Shoalhaven have welcomed 63 new medical graduate interns, with the new doctors entering the NSW Health training program with networked hospitals to provide formal and on-the-job training.
Each program participant receives a two-year contract to rotate between metropolitan, regional and rural hospitals to ensure the diversity of their experience.
The interns also rotate across different specialties during the intern year, including surgery, medicine and emergency medicine.
“These new medical graduate interns already play an important role in helping to provide high-quality care in our public hospitals. We are proud to have them on our team,” said Health Minister, Ryan Park.
“Choosing to work here in NSW means these new junior doctors will have the opportunity to learn from some of the country’s very best, as part of Australia’s largest health system.
“From doctors, to nurses, paramedics and allied health professionals – we are rebuilding an engaged, capable and supported workforce.”
