General Information
 Criteria for Accreditation of a Secondment Hospital (Australia)
A Secondment Hospital shall have:
  • at least 50 medical beds;
  • at least two physicians on staff;
  • an emergency department;
  • adequate investigative and educational resources;
  • (For Secondment Hospitals within NSW training networks only) a Director of Physician Training (DPT) and an established training program aimed at basic physician trainees.
Accreditation of a hospital as a secondment hospital depends on the recommendation of the DPT at a Level 3 or a Level 2 Teaching Hospital. The DPT may decide to waive one of the criteria if it is felt that the terms provide sufficient and good quality teaching relevant to internal medicine.

Training in these hospitals will be on rotation from a Level 3 or Level 2 Teaching Hospital. A total of six months of the 36 months of basic training may be spent at secondment hospitals, or hospitals which form part of the rotation network.
