One of my close friends who is now an ophthalmologist was once a psychiatry registrar at Nepean.

If you really wanted to get good clinical skills as a JMO, go to somewhere with mega-high volume, sick as shit people and low-ish supervision (eg: Blacktown, Nepean, Bankstown, Westmead, Livo).

For anaesthetics terms as an SRMO that are longer than 3 months, RPA, Nepean, Concord, Wagga that I know of.

Hi, I’m a Cat 2 NSW applicant from UQ and was most likely going to apply for Nepean Hospital for intern year as it is 10 minutes from where I will be staying.

From when I applied, some places are pretty transparent about priority for Anaes going to highest ranked candidate (POW/RNSH and I think Gosford), some said they will try and make it democratic (Nepean 3 mo) but idk how, maybe random ballot, and ofc you would know all 4 candidates in Nepean 6 mo are guaranteed a term…

have anyone here interviewed at St Vincents or Nepean for general (med) SRMO positions and have heard back yet with offers ?

You will almost certainly be offered a second round offer at Nepean hospital.

No claim reached the three-author bar.

The letter sent by Nepean Hospital’s administration to junior medical officers last week is emblematic of the ongoing tension – expressed in all caps – between NSW’s public hospitals’ attempts to adequately staff increasingly busy emergency departments and inpatient units, and overworked junior doctors who are expected…

Also, you are protected from the rostering and overtime issues that plague Nepean.

Nepean and Blacktown are the two worst internship hospitals so I’d go with the one that’s not from that list.

A six-month anaesthetics SRMO — one of the few in NSW with that much anaesthetics time, which is why it is on every applicant's list. Tracked for interview timing, never reviewed.
Nepean ICU SRMO Intensive care · 3 authors · 3 tagged sentences; no tally under 30
Eight crit care SRMOs a year (4 ICU, 4 anaesthetics) against Westmead's twenty — the small-cohort argument, made explicitly.
