Senior House Officer - Commencement May 2020

Whanganui District Health Board is seeking applications for the above role from suitably qualified Senior House Officers. The position is 12 month fixed term full-time position and commences from 18 May 2020 in ED. To apply for this role you must be a PGY2 House Officer or a Senior House Officer, eligible to work nights and have a current practising certificate.
Our hospital serves a population of approximately 60,000, performing 4,000 procedures annually in three elective theatres and one acute theatre. We have a total of 46 RMOs working in General Medicine, Mental Health, Emergency, General Surgery, Orthopaedics, O&G, Paediatrics, and Anaesthetic Departments and as relievers. These positions do include night and weekend shifts on a rotating roster.
The bonus of coming to Whanganui DHB as opposed to a larger DHB, is that all House Officers are given the opportunity to work directly with senior consultants in all departments. Our DHB strongly supports training opportunities and a variety of experiences which can assist you with making future career choices - and some of our SHO's are given the opportunity to move into non-training registrar positions. As testimony to this, the following are comments received from one of our House Officers regarding training at WDHB -"Also wanted to let you know that the ELS course was superb! So thank you very much for the exposure that we get as junior doctors here!"
