The hospital has an excellent and sustained record for training at both the prevocational and vocational level. It is consistently in the top three choices for new medical graduates in NSW. There are two co-directors of Prevocational Education and Training, an experienced and caring JMO unit and a committed team of term supervisors. All traditional terms are available with new and innovative terms being developed to cope with the expected surge in medical graduates. Our JMOs are well-supported in both their day-to-day work and after-hours (with an Advanced Practice Nurse working after-hours to specifically assist JMOs). There are PGY1 and PGY2 specific education programs. The hospital is accredited for training by all specialist colleges. Senior staff are committed to the education and training of all junior staff. The hospital also has a strong research base. There is also a very active RMO association with excellent facilities available for junior doctors.
