The Advanced Trainee Selection and Matching (ATSM) service for 2019 is now open.

This year, ATSM will run differently from previous years. It is important that you read the instructions on how to apply for positions.

As in previous years, ATSM is used by a small number of specialties and locations to advertise positions. All other positions will be advertised on training and recruitment sites. You should check RACP Medical positions vacant and employer recruitment websites relevant to your desired training posts.

Victorian Medical Oncology Training Programme (VMOTP) will advertise vacant positions for first year and continuing advanced trainee positions in Victoria and Tasmania only.

NSW and ACT vacant positions will be advertised on NSW JMO eRecruit.
