Medicine Registrar

Fixed Term - 29/01/24 - 29/07/24

Applications are invited for Paediatric Medical registrars on the general paediatric roster offering rotations in General Paediatrics, Child Development and Child Protection and Level 3 NICU.  Basic and advanced trainees are welcome, and have the opportunity to be involved in the Auckland FRACP training programme. 

Waikato Hospital provides care to 392,000 people, including a growing population of 82,000 children under the age of 15.  This gives us the critical mass to be able to offer significant subspecialty exposure whilst still maintaining a breadth of general paediatric experience.  Our paediatric medical team of 25 Paediatricians & 27 basic & advanced trainees is the foundation of a multidisciplinary paediatric unit including a child development& child protection service, paediatric surgery and a level 3 neonatal intensive care unit. 

We have a strong emphasis & excellent reputation in teaching & training, and are committed to the ongoing growth and development of our trainees.  Those with research interests enjoy on campus support from the University of Auckland’s Waikato Clinical School & the DHB’s Clinical Audit Support Unit.

We are a blend of large & small, being one of New Zealand’s largest healthcare providers, but located in a city where rural/lifestyle living is the norm.  The broader Waikato region offers an unsurpassed array of outdoor pursuits - skiing, surfing, mountain biking & fishing in lakes, rivers & sea are all available within easy striking distance.

We are looking for enthusiastic Paediatric Trainees committed to team-based patient-centred care.
