Palmerston North, Manawatu-Wanganui, New Zealand Head Medical Full time

We are looking for an experienced emergency medicine specialist to join our team at Palmerston North Hospital, serving a diverse population of approximately 200,000 people. As an Australasian Level 4 ED and regional trauma centre, we provide comprehensive care to approximately 48,000 adult and paediatric presentations per annum.

Our hospital has a strong team of 11 Emergency Physicians from various countries and backgrounds, as well as 3 clinical nurse specialists and 2 nurse practitioners. You will be responsible for supervising resident medical officers (a mix of registrars and senior house officers) as well as 6th year medical students from the University of Otago. We have a highly successful teaching programme for the Part I ACEM examination and we are keen to develop a robust Part II programme. Each week, we have protected teaching time, including time in our simulation centre, for registrars, house officers, and students.

The Palmerston North ED sees a higher than average trauma workload due to agricultural injuries from the many farms in the area as well as road accidents from the several state highways transecting the region. We have a trauma team that operates 24/7 and work closely with our surgical and anaesthetic colleagues to refine our trauma and disaster protocols.

We offer a unique opportunity for professional growth and development, with a commitment to achieving equity in healthcare for our diverse patient population. If you are interested in this position, please apply online and attach an up-to-date copy of your CV for consideration.
