2020 Training Year Dermatology Registrars

What do Auckland and Waikato have to offer?

Working in the Auckland and Waikato Region you will have the opportunity to work alongside our passionate and knowledgeable senior clinicians who will provide you with world class supervision and mentorship.

Working as Dermatology Advanced Trainee

Dermatology is a fascinating specialty which includes aspects of medicine, surgery and pathology. Patients range from neonates to the elderly. Building from a sound base in General Medicine, you will learn about inflammatory skin diseases, skin malignancies, infections, infestations, autoimmune skin diseases, iatrogenic conditions and many more. Knowledge of dermatology can be of great value in many specialties including General Medicine, Rheumatology and Infectious Disease. There have been significant advances in therapeutic options in recent years. The Training Programme includes three positions with Greenlane Hospital (Auckland DHB); one with Counties Manukau DHB; and two with Waikato Hospital.

These runs may be recognised, for those accepted onto the scheme, by the RACP as training positions for specialist qualification and will see the registrar responsible for the following:

• Working closely with Dermatologists to assess, investigate and manage new and follow-up patients in outpatient clinics
• Reviewing inpatient referrals from other specialties
• Assessing and admitting acute and elective Dermatology patients
• Undertaking clinical responsibilities as directed by the Consultant
• Organising investigations and ensuring results are reviewed, acted upon and signed
• Day to day ward management of patients under their team's care, in consultation with others involved in the care of the patient where appropriate
• Answering calls for advice from the community or other specialties

Dermatology Registrar Advanced Trainee runs in the Auckland region are six to twelve months in length. For Dermatology this includes rotating runs at Waikato DHB. Example run descriptions for the 2019 training year can be viewed on the Auckland Doctors website. For further information on Advanced Training in New Zealand please visit the RACP website.

There are two types of jobs available:

• You will need to have passed the FRACP written exam or be registered to sit the clinical exam for June 2019. These positions will only be offered to those who have passed the clinical exam and have completed basic training.
• Eligible for registration with the Medical Council of New Zealand. Support and assistance with this process is provided.
• Non training positions will only be allocated to if there are no suitable applicants for Advanced Training

Six month allocations for those interested in Dermatology experience as part of their training in General Medicine or specialty training

If you are already an advanced trainee in Dermatology plus a current employee in the Auckland region, you do not need to apply via this job listing. You will have independent meetings with your specialty.
