Transition year training position – Flinders Medical Centre

The Transition Year position is a role between that of registrar and consultant, with flexibility and graded responsibility to allow increasing clinical autonomy, and development of skills in research and administration.

It is aimed to assist the movement of the trainee into specialist practice and build on those skills and attributes acquired in the early years of training and which were assessed in the formal exams and in workplace-based assessments.

The position will allow flexibility and graded responsibility allowing increased autonomy and progression towards specialist practice.

KEY OUTCOMES / ACTIVITIES

During the year, the trainee will aim to achieve all the key and enabling competencies expected of a specialist or expert, particularly those of Medical (clinical) Expert, Communicator, Collaborator (team worker), Manager (leader), Health Advocate, Scholar (educator) and Professional.

Initially, any new incoming TY registrar will be rostered to a Senior Registrar role, where they will receive additional supervision from the ICU Consultant group.

This will also allow the registrar to become familiar with the ICU and hospital environment, as well as day-to-day logistics.

NON-CLINICAL FRACTION

There will be mandatory non-clinical fraction which will range from 0.2 FTE to 0.5 FTE.

This partition will depend upon whether candidates wish to experience general consultant practice or focus on domains of research, teaching, or echocardiography.

Irrespective of domain, all Transition Year fellows would be required to engage in one of the several safety and quality standards within ICU and engage in various administrative roles.
