Unfortunately it's not an option for me this year, but I'll be keeping an eye out during next year's RMO campaign for any spots at Mt Isa!

I think ED term would still be secondment to a public qh hospital like Mt Isa, but not sure (I dont think Mater ED is accredited for junior doctor rotation but i may be wrong).

Mount Isa will get you hands on experience putting in arterial lines, doing sedations, managing Resus patients etc all with really good consultant to RMO ratio.

As a rural trainee - Mt Isa just throws $75k at you as a thanks for coming - the inference is - it’s a doghole of a place to live 😂 I’m sure the ED is great though 👍

Mate’s heading up to Mt Isa Hospital v soon and wants the straight-up intel: what’s the vibe, any killer tips, hospital culture, the stuff you won’t see in the welcome pack.
