Any senior registrar (ATY2 or 4th year trainee and above) is eligible to apply. It is a 12 month position involving 50% RFDS work and 50% Trauma/Anaesthesia Fellowship. Following the first 3 weeks training at RFDS the position will consist of 2 weeks doing retrieval medicine with the RFDS (including retrieval by plane, helicopter and jet) alternating with 2 weeks doing anaesthesia at Fremantle Hospital, most likely Trauma Fellowship.
