- Weekly unit meetings with a variety of Multi-Disciplinary Team meetings
- Radiology meetings
- Weekly grand rounds
- Outpatient clinic experience
- Progression in research activities under the guidance of the Internal Medicine Research Group and the Academic Unit
Weekly structured teaching outline is as follows.
In the Peninsula Health training program, BPT 1 rotations are subspecialty oriented, while BPT 2 & 3 rotations are more often within General Medicine with fewer subspecialty rotations. However, an individual’s RACP training requirements and exam commitments are considered.
In addition to the rotations at Peninsula Health, trainees are provided with the opportunity to experience rotations outside the network. These rotations include Alfred Health, Goulburn Valley Health and Mildura Base Hospital.
Trainees are given the opportunity to gain depth and breadth in clinical expertise by completing rotations in the following areas:
