Postgraduate Year 2 and Beyond Recruitment

PGY2+ Recruitment Overview

Selection and allocation of Resident Medical Officer (RMO) positions (Postgraduate Year 2 and beyond) in South Australia occurs on an annual basis. It is undertaken through a centralised Expression of Interest process administered by the South Australian Medical Education and Training Unit (SA MET) on behalf of the South Australian, Department for Health and Wellbeing and South Australian Local Health Networks (LHNs).

SA MET is not the employing body and does not provide employment contracts. Contracts are provided by the relevant LHNs / SA Health.

Expressions of Interest for RMO positions in South Australia must be completed online through the SA Health Careers website.

*Please be aware that some training programs may choose to advertise positions outside of SA MET’s centralised allocation process.

If you are unsure, we recommend you speak to the relevant training program contact person to clarify.

Training positions available in South Australian teaching hospitals include:

Prevocational Training programs that offer rotations through different subspecialties that provide exposure to patients presenting with undifferentiated illness, patients with chronic illness, and patients with acute and critical illness.

Vocational Training programs that focus on specific specialty areas. These positions will provide you with experience in specific clinical specialties and are suitable if you know the specialty career path you wish to follow. In some cases, you will need to be accepted by the relevant specialty college. Information regarding college appointment processes and deadlines can be obtained from the individual colleges.

Allocation of Advanced Specialist Training Positions (Registrars) is not undertaken by SA MET. Recruitment for these positions is undertaken directly by the relevant hospitals/LHNs.
