Doctors in Training Recruitment Campaign 2027 - Intensive Care (ICU) Registrar

2027 Intensive Care Registrars – Royal Hobart Hospital

Department of Critical Care Medicine (DCCM) at Royal Hobart Hospital is now recruiting for Intensive Care Registrars for the 2027 year – 1 February 2027 – 7 February 2028.

Applicants should be full-time equivalent of post-graduate year 4 or more in 2027 to apply. These are day-night shift work positions suitable for accredited trainees with CICM, ANZCA, ACEM, RACS or ACRRM or any junior doctors who wish to gain experience assessing and managing critically ill patients but are as yet undecided on their preferred career path.

Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH) has Tasmania’s only Tertiary Level 3 ICU and is the referral centre for all medical and surgical specialties. We are C24 CICM accredited and admit a very broad medical and surgical casemix - including  Cardiac Surgery, ECMO, Neurosurgery, Major Trauma.

These positions are suitable for both junior trainees and post-primary CICM trainees with more experience or who are approaching Fellowship exam. The broad general casemix makes our ICU well suited for CICM trainees preparing for exams, and they have had outstanding exam success over many years.

We have strong relationships with other RHH departments and can negotiate rotations to cover all the CICM-required non-ICU training terms for established trainees. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to continue their training in Tasmania.

We run two 12 bed pods with Registrars and SRMOs sharing a day-night, shiftwork roster, supervised by Fellows/SRs/Consultants who are off-site after hours.

We have a robust time-protected teaching program, including journal club, simulation and active bedside teaching during rounds. Our safety and quality systems include monthly mortality and morbidity meetings coordinated by our ICU Fellows. We staff and manage the hospital Medical Emergency Response System, the hospital-wide TPN Service and have a 7-day nurse-lead ICU Liaison service.

We manage a private ICU with CICM accreditation, with predominantly perioperative casemix including Cardiothoracic Surgery and Neurosurgery. We rotate registrars there on a combined roster across the two sites.

Hobart is a vibrant regional city with an excellent lifestyle, a temperate climate and with close proximity to outstanding wilderness and many outdoor pursuits.
