Description of Hospital –

Austin / Northern Health General Information

Postgraduate Medical Education

There is a dedicated Clinical Education Unit at Austin Health and a Medical Education Unit at Northern Health which provide support and innovative training opportunities in a safe learning environment for doctors in training. These activities include orientation, mentoring, vocational guidance, feedback, assessment and professional development activities. The Clinical Education Unit and the Medical Education Unit are currently working on the development of an integrated learning map that encapsulates the key principles of the New Australian Curriculum Framework for Junior Doctors. The work in this area is well advanced, and should be ready for implementation very shortly.

Orientation

There is a 3-day comprehensive orientation program for interns that includes a full day of shadowing with the former intern and an interactive clinical skills workshop. At Austin Health, we provide an Intern Liaison Officer for the first week of the new intern year; this role supports the interns after hours and over week end duties to ensure a supported and safe environment for all interns. For new and returning HMOs and Registrars there is a half-day orientation at both hospitals that delivers key organisational information on rostering, payroll, credentialing activities and education and support programs.

Unit Handbooks

Comprehensive handbooks are available for each unit. These are designed to support ‘on the job’ orientation provided by the units and to assist with the overall transition from one unit to another.

Mid Term Feedback, Assessment and Rotation Evaluation

Mid term feedback is provided verbally by the Registrar. Formal written assessment occurs at the end of each rotation and is conducted by a senior member of medical







Austin Health


staff. All rotations are evaluated at the end of each term using a de-identified process.

Rosters

Yearly rotations are available and distributed prior to commencement. These are set after careful consideration of training requirements, past rotations, special interests and requests. Whilst every effort is made to accommodate requests, this is not always possible.

Physician Training

The Central North West Basic Physician Training Consortium incorporates Austin Health, Northern Health, Bendigo Health, and Wimmera Healthcare Group (Horsham Hospital). The Consortium is renowned for its physician-training program and has an excellent pass rate in the FRACP Written and Clinical Exams.

Directors of Physician Training and Senior Medical Registrars at both Austin and Northern organise an extensive series of topic tutorials, long and short case clinical tutorials and arrange Saturday morning practice clinical exams to adequately prepare trainees for the clinical exam. The practice clinical exams are held at Austin Health, Northern Health and Bendigo Health. A Professional Development program is available for Physician Trainees through the Consortium and covers topics such as Feedback – Teaching styles – Mentoring – Managing Conflict – Team building skills. Please refer to the PMCV website for matching information in relation to the BPT2 and BPT3+ matches.

GP Rural Generalist Pathway

The concept is to develop a pathway visible to those who are still within the clinical training years at Medical School, especially those associated with Deakin University, taking them through the prevocational years (Intern and Postgraduate Year 2) into a choice of targeted skills training in their third or subsequent postgraduate years on their path to specific training within the general practice environment in the Barwon South West Region or other areas covered by Southern GP Training. Targeted skills training in the third or subsequent postgraduate year would be in the fields of Obstetrics (Advanced Diploma), JCCC Anaesthetics, Critical Care (ICU and or Emergency Medicine), Surgery or Community Paediatrics. The pathway involves 5 years of training 3 years with Barwon Health and two years with Southern GP Training. Successful applicants for this pathway must exhibit a genuine interest in undertaking a career in rural general practice, preferably within the Barwon South West Region of Victoria. Applicants who have undertaken their medical training at Deakin Medical School or one of the other Victorian Medical Rural Clinical Schools are prefered. As 2013 will be the first year of the program applicants to fill five intern, five HMO2 General Stream, one JCC Anaesthetic (must be at least PGY3), one Advanced Diploma in Obstretics (must be at least PGY3) , one joint ICU/Emergency Medicine post (must be at least PGY3) , one surgical skills post (must be at least PGY3) and one community paeditraics post (must be at least PGY4 with at least one term of GP training) are being sought. All successful applicants will be expected to already be part of the Australian GP Training or apply for GP training via AGPT with Southern GP Training, during their intern or subsequent postgraduate years.

Description of the M2M Program

The M2M program has been developed by a partnership of Alpine Health, Cobram District Health, Numurkah District Health Service and Yarrawonga Health. M2M is a sub-regional model for intern placement, based in small rural teaching health services. The M2M intern training experience is unique. Our placement structure will give you the total experience in both rural and regional hospitals and is based in some of Victoria’s most beautiful locations such as Cobram, Mt Beauty, Falls Creek, Nathalia, Numurkah and Yarrawonga. The core medical and surgical rotations will be at Northeast Health Wangaratta and emergency medicine at Albury Wodonga Health (Wodonga Campus). The aim of the M2M experience is for the interns to: be the patient’s first contact and follow the patient

through from initial presentation; have access to hands-on medicine in a variety of

settings – ambulatory, hospital and residential care;










have core rotations of 10 weeks in surgery, medicine and emergency medicine in the Hume region;

have the opportunity to work in rurally-based procedural general practice and small rural teaching services over 20 weeks;

undertake parallel consulting; be exposed to sports medicine through working in the

ski fields or water sports along the Murray River; manage chronic disease including geriatric medicine

and medication review; participate in Grand Rounds, clinical review meetings

and skills workshops in areas such as ophthalmology, fracture management, ECG interpretation, ear, nose and throat;

acquire basic radiography and sonography skills suitable for rural practice.

The M2M Program provides the opportunity for career progression from undergraduate to GP or specialist registrar and a strong foundation for a rural medical career. At the same time, the value of the M2M experience is readily translated to metropolitan specialist practice. Other organisations involved with M2M are Bogong Regional Training Network and the Rural Clinical Schools of the University of Melbourne and the University of New South Wales.

The intern year involves at least 48 weeks of supervised clinical experience and comprises core and non-core rotations.

The core rotations are: Medicine – 10 weeks Surgery – 10 weeks Emergency Medicine – 10 weeks For the remaining 20 weeks, each intern will complete their GP Rotation at one of the following rural locations:- Cobram, Yarrawonga, Mt Beauty/Falls Creek, Numurkah or Nathalia These rotations will reflect the workload of rural general practitioners, incorporating for example, work in local hospitals and residential aged care facilities. This will also include time in theatre and consultations with Visiting Specialists including but not limited to General Surgery, Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Urology, Consulting Physician, and Orthopaedics. The general practitioners are AGPAL accredited, the supervising doctors hold appointments at the local hospitals and have been credentialed and had the scope of their clinical practice defined and, thus, are appropriately privileged.
