COAST<br />
UNIVERSITY<br />
HOSPITAL<br />
Fraser Island, servicing a population of about 410,000 people. This number expands<br />
greatly in holiday seasons. Sunshine Coast University Hospital is the primary<br />
hospital that interns will be allocated to, though there are opportunities to do<br />
rotations at Nambour, Maleny and Gympie Hospitals.<br />
REASONS TO APPLY<br />
The great learning opportunities and lifestyle in this area result in a consistent<br />
retention rate of over 90% of interns choosing to stay on for their house officer<br />
years and beyond. Our hospitals provide:<br />
Great learning opportunities, including dedicated junior doctor teaching<br />
programs and engaged senior clinicians. With the SIM skills centre at SCUH,<br />
and pocket SIM labs at Nambour and Gympie Hospitals and Medical<br />
Education Unit staff at these sites, everything is focused on individualising<br />
each intern and house officers’ clinical learning opportunities<br />
An active research department and program at SCUH provides plenty of<br />
research opportunities and support for junior doctors<br />
A rich social lifestyle – the Sunshine Coast Junior Doctor Society organises<br />
boat trips, balls, social drinks and other activities. It also organises an annual<br />

issues<br />
The Sunshine Coast offers a unique blend of metropolitan sophistication,<br />
friendly regional hospital atmosphere and the relaxed Sunshine Coast<br />

coral reefs. There are a great range of restaurants and cafes, fantastic<br />
beaches for surfing, diving, kite-surfing, snorkelling, sailing and fishing, great<br />
