AMA (TAS)<br />
Welcome to the medical profession. It is a profession of unlimited opportunity and<br />
immense satisfaction, a career that is both challenging and extremely rewarding.<br />
The effort you have already put in to get to this stage is significant and, as you<br />
continue to train on the job, there is much work awaiting you.<br />
Firstly, I want to congratulate you for continuing with your studies and medical<br />
career journey in what can only have been described as near impossible<br />
circumstances over the last few years, but the fact that you are here today speaks<br />
volumes to the type of doctors you are going to become – calm, passionate,<br />
resilient, determined, and professional all the traits needed to treat and care and<br />
advocate for your patients, your colleagues and yourself.<br />
Good advice, given to most of us on starting our intern year, is not to be<br />
overwhelmed, give everything a go, be curious, interested, ask questions, be<br />
proactive, look and learn and importantly ask for help if needed. Your senior<br />
colleagues were all once interns, and they remember only too well the steep<br />
learning curve you are on and the incredible reward we all get from providing<br />
patient care. These senior doctors look forward to teaching and mentoring you; you<br />
are the future of our profession.<br />
We often hear from interns that working in the hospital is not always what they<br />
expected. You graduated with a lot of knowledge, now is the time to put that<br />
knowledge into practice and enjoy this new experience.<br />
Tasmania provides a beautiful lifestyle and many opportunities for advancing your<br />
medical training at any one of our three public hospitals, Hobart, Launceston or in<br />
the Northwest. Tasmania offers great weather, cities that are easy to get around,<br />
access to excellent sporting facilities and activities; both on and off the water,<br />
healthy produce, a world-renowned arts and festival culture, pristine scenery,<br />
untouched beaches and a diverse and vibrant coffee and dining scene. AMA<br />
Tasmania is actively involved in ensuring the right balance of work, teaching and<br />
life exist for Interns in Tasmania.<br />
AMA Tasmania continues to help countless members with workplace relations<br />
advice, advocate on vital life impacting issues such as climate change, career<br />
coaching and wellbeing support. You will also have networking opportunities with<br />
senior colleagues. In an increasingly crowded employment market, these<br />
opportunities are crucial.
