TAS NEW GRAD<br />
PERSPECTIVE<br />
Huge congratulations on making it this far through your studies!<br />
Though I’m sure that, at times, it felt that your medical degree would never end, it<br />
is now time to apply for internship, and you should take a moment to reflect on,<br />
and be proud of how far you have come. If you are considering applying for<br />
internship in Tasmania, I would strongly recommend it. I am just about to finish<br />
my first rotation at the Royal Hobart Hospital, in Urology, and I have had a great<br />
experience so far. Intern year is probably always going to be a significant<br />
adjustment, but Tassie is a wonderful location to take this next step.<br />
Time is precious in intern year, and Tasmania’s easy-to-access wilderness,<br />
numerous great restaurants and cafes, and conveniently-located housing options<br />
make it easy to spend your free time doing something that rejuvenates you,<br />
rather than commuting. As well as this, you will find a friendly, approachable<br />
community at any of the hospitals in Tasmania, so you can rely on some good-old<br />
camaraderie to get you through the tricky days.<br />
Tasmania has three major hospitals: the Royal Hobart Hospital, the Launceston<br />
General Hospital, and the North West Regional Hospital. Each hospital provides a<br />
different mix of experiences to suit your needs, with opportunities for rural and<br />
remote medicine, independent learning opportunities, and variety of medical<br />
specialties. Each provides a well supported internship, with plenty of teaching<br />
time.<br />
Applying for internship in Tasmania is easy – it requires only one application for all<br />
three hospitals – you just indicate your preference of location when applying, and<br />
send through your CV. Regardless of which hospital you are allocated to, you are<br />
guaranteed to have a great year, make valuable connections, and have<br />
worthwhile learning experiences that will set you up well into the future.<br />
Finally, I just want to wish you all well for the coming year. This is undoubtedly a<br />
period of significant change, regardless of whether you stay in your home state, or<br />
are relocating, and it is almost definitely going to be a steep learning curve - but<br />
rest assured that all the hard work you have put in up to this point will serve you<br />
well. Remember that there are many wonderful people around willing to support<br />
you – don’t be afraid to reach out, and lean on these supports over the next year.<br />
Make a conscious effort to do things that fill your cup, as well as making sure you<br />
eat, (drink water!), sleep, and exercise. These simple things will make all the<br />
difference in ensuring you not only survive, but thrive in your intern year.<br />
We look forward to having you as new interns in 2024!<br />
Dr Charlotte Young<br />
Royal Hobart Hospital Intern
