The WestMed BPT Network has an opening within their Basic Physician Training program for a suitably qualified junior doctor with aspirations of becoming a physician. If you have completed at least 2 years post graduate medical practice within Australia, hold current General registration with AHPRA and enjoy working and training in a busy clinical environment, then this may be the opening you are looking for.

Where you'll be working
The Westmead Hospital is known for its comprehensive and highly specialised services provided to the Western Sydney community, statewide and nationally. Westmead Hospital is a member of the Westmead Health and Education Super Precinct, with close relationships to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, the University of Sydney, the Westmead Institute for Medical Research, and the Children’s Medical Research Institute. Currently undergoing a multimillion-dollar rebuilding program, Westmead Hospital with its partners will be one of the largest health, education, research and training precincts in Australia.

The WestMed BPT Network has training positions in Westmead Hospital; Blacktown Hospital; Hornsby Hospital and Orange Hospital. All are teaching hospitals affiliated with Sydney University and UWS. Our metropolitan sites are busy with exposure to a wide variety of presentations and patient populations. Our rural site offers tremendous opportunity to see a diverse range of clinical medicine where you will start to develop the key decision-making and clinical judgement skills of a physician.

Our training program targets your clinical skills and your professional skills. We provide a supportive environment that facilitates your learning and gets you ready to meet the challenges of your career and the RACP exams. We offer a comprehensive program which supplements your own study program, as well as a mentorship program and other learning opportunities. We take education and training seriously and value the same from our trainees.

Rotations have different levels of responsibility and team structures. BPTs will gain increasing clinical autonomy and accountability as team leaders throughout the course of the three-year training program, building on their skills and attributes with the goal of entering an Advanced Training program.

BPTs undertaking the care of medical patients should ensure that they operate within their own level of expertise within a collaborative clinical care model and to seek consultation with the treating physician when appropriate, in the following activities:

  • Discuss diagnoses and management plans with patients and their families or carers
  • Document the progress of patients in multiple settings
  • Prescribe medications tailored to patients’ needs and conditions
  • Transfer care of patients
  • Choose, organise and interpret investigations
  • Assess and manage acutely unwell patients
  • Plan, prepare for, perform, and provide after care for important procedures

Selection Criteria:
  • MBBS or equivalent, current general registration with the Medical Board of Australia
  • This role requires eligibility for or current registration as a Basic Physician Trainee with the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) and intent to obtain Fellowship of the RACP. What is your current RACP status?

  • Demonstrated teamwork and problem-solving skills within a multidisciplinary team (Limit response to 1500 characters)
  • Demonstrated time management and prioritisation skills within the context of multiple competing priorities (Limit response to 1500 characters)
  • Demonstrated commitment to ongoing learning, teaching, research, quality improvement and clinical leadership in medicine (Limit response to 1500 characters)
