ROTATIONS AVAILABLE<br />
<br />
Alice Springs Hospital is the only internship program which has four rather than five<br />
rotations during internship. This means that there is no service/relief term, and<br />
leave is more flexibly spread across rotations through the year. All interns will rotate<br />
through Emergency, General Medicine, and General Surgery to fulfil their AMC<br />
requirements. The remaining rotations are randomly allocated from a selection of<br />
Orthopaedics, Paediatrics, Renal, and Tennant Creek Hospital, and there is an<br />
opportunity for swapping between interns following allocation<br />
BASIC INFORMATION<br />
<br />
Alice Springs Hospital is a 189-bed teaching hospital affiliated with the Flinders<br />
University in South Australia and Charles Darwin University in Darwin. It is the only<br />
major hospital covering a catchment area of over a million square km.<br />
There is strong focus on Indigenous and remote health as a result of such a<br />
dispersed population. Over two thirds of acute admissions are Aboriginal people<br />
both from town and remote communities, as far away as Kiwikurra in Western<br />
Australia, Mimili in the APY lands of South Australia, and Camooweal in western<br />
Queensland, and we see a wide range of infectious diseases.<br />
Cultural, language and communication issues also impact our work. Our medicine<br />
is complex, including good old-fashioned “hands-on” care of arguably one of the<br />
sickest populations in Australia. Local services are supplemented by visiting<br />
specialists.<br />
The hospital has an active education programme supported by award winning<br />
medical educators operating from a new, state of the art teaching and training<br />
facility on the Alice Springs Hospital campus. Alice Springs Hospital is accredited for<br />
diploma and terms in specialist training by ACEM, ACRRM, ANZCA, CICM, RACGP,<br />
RACP (adults and paediatrics), RACS, RANZCOG, RACMA and RANZCP. Many of our<br />
junior doctors stay on for postgraduate training and there are 53 resident
