This is an amazing opportunity for a General Physician with an adventurous spirit and desire to make a difference to the health and well being of an amazing community in outback Australia.
The job is arguably the most exciting general medicine position in Australia and would attract a committed and dynamic medical professional who can think on their feet, work autonomously and enjoy one of the most remote places on earth that also has unique health challenges.
Based within a township hundreds of km from Darwin you will also continue to develop a significant outreach program that has already made some instrumental gains in health care in the region.
Their are very high rates of rheumatic heart disease, glomerulonephritis, diabetic retinopathy, infectious diseases and respiratory illnesses. Most of the health care issues are poverty related with life expectancy being only 45 in the region. Applicants with interests in renal, infectious diseases, respiratory, gastroenterology, cardiology or endocrinology will be highly regarded and would add real value to the service.
This position would suit General Physicians qualified in either the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada or South Africa. Your communication skills will be first class and you must be interested in working within a cross-cultural environment, across all ages.
A first class remuneration package (circa GBP150k and above plus benefits) will be awarded.
