Looking for somewhere challenging, rewarding...somewhere fundamentally different? Alice Springs Hospital (ASH) is seeking a motivated advanced trainee looking for a different elective year and general medicine trainees, interested in diabetes, endocrinology and remote and indigenous health encouraged to apply.

The Endocrinology and Diabetes team at ASH consists of 3 local endocrinologists and four Diabetes Nurse Educators. The high prevalence of diabetes in the local population (40% of indigenous adults) provides opportunity to improve your knowledge and management of diabetes. Hospital work involves endocrinology outpatient and remote outreach clinics and ward consults.

The medicine here is entirely unique. Around 75% of patients are Indigenous - many from remote communities, often with complex co-morbidities, social and cultural contexts, providing a unique, challenging and incredibly rewarding experience for staff. ASH is a 183 bed teaching hospital. The Department of Medicine staff consists of General Physicians and many Sub-Specialists with 4 inpatient medical teams. Alice Springs is a multicultural community with well-established amenities with world class outdoors adventure opportunities and a vibrant cultural and social scene.
