About the role
The mission of the Southland Hospital General Medicine service is to deliver excellent patient care and at the same time facilitate the development of outstanding Registrars
- Fully staffed with trained General Physicians, many of whom are also qualified in various subspecialties
- Medical patients are admitted to General Medicine, ensuring excellent breadth and depth of exposure to a wide range of medical conditions
- Opportunity for exposure to ambulatory work within the onsite subspecialties provided by the dual trained General Physicians, which include Cardiology, Respiratory, Endocrinology, Nephrology and Gastroenterology
- We maintain the care for acutely unwell patients including those requiring ICU admission, which means that advanced trainees can satisfy the high acuity requirement of their training by doing General Medicine at Southland, rather than having to do a separate high acuity run
- All other medical subspecialties are covered by visiting consultants from Dunedin Hospital. There is ample time and opportunity to nurture any subspecialty interests amongst trainees alongside their General Medicine experience
- We offer a clinically challenging and busy yet supportive environment for you to thrive
- Consultants work alongside our Registrars to provide patient-focused care and high-quality teaching
- We handle thousands of inpatients and outpatient encounters every year
