NT OVERVIEW<br />
Are you interested in rural health, tropical medicine or Indigenous health? Are you<br />
looking for challenges and opportunities in your medical career within a relaxed<br />
and friendly environment? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these, then the Northern<br />
Territory is the place for you!<br />
The Northern Territory offers a great lifestyle, spectacular geography and unique<br />
medical opportunities not available elsewhere in Australia. Working in Northern<br />
Territory Hospitals offers broad clinical experience and opportunities to improve<br />
practical skills in all specialty areas. Northern Territory Hospitals provide a range of<br />
services often not seen in similar sized hospitals due to the wide range of medical<br />
conditions, cross-cultural blend of patients, and combination of rural and remote<br />
locations. Our hospitals also have a strong focus on medical education and<br />
training, and employment packages can include specific training programs and<br />
rotations.<br />
Alice Springs and Royal Darwin Hospitals are teaching hospitals, with strong links<br />
to the Flinders University NT Medical Program and James Cook University Medical<br />
School, and provide a comprehensive training program for junior medical officers.<br />
You will be expected to attend weekly protected training sessions tailored to<br />
immediate needs as well as covering broader areas of professional development.<br />
In each of the terms you undertake during the year, you will receive weekly formal<br />
and informal teaching sessions from consultants and registrars. Most<br />
departments will have formal grand rounds, journal clubs and specific sessions<br />
such as radiology meetings each week, and you will be supported to attend these.<br />
There is a general focus for training and experience in PGY1 and PGY2, enabling<br />
you to consolidate your knowledge, skills and experience, as well as providing you<br />
with opportunities to explore potential careers.<br />
The training and experiences in these two years follow the Australian Curriculum<br />
Framework for Junior Doctors. In PGY2 and beyond you will be offered the<br />
opportunity to follow pathways that prepare you for vocational training programs.<br />
Opportunities for rural and remote practice are a key feature of these pathways.<br />
Junior Doctors are encouraged to attend regular education and up-skilling<br />
sessions covering broad areas of professional development. In addition, all our<br />
junior doctors receive a professional training allowance paid fortnightly to support<br />
individual training needs. Northern Territory hospitals provide a comprehensive<br />
training program for junior medical officers.
