Our unaccredited registrars are a vast array of junior doctors (Post Graduate Year 3 (PGY3) or higher and includes a diverse mix of local Tasmanian graduates, interstate graduates, UK doctors as well as other international medical graduates (IMGs) from all around the world. While UK doctors are the most prevalent international doctors, we have representation from every continent in the world (Except Antarctica).
If you are interstate or overseas this could be your chance of a lifetime to experience what it is to be Tasmanian.
To be Tasmanian is to value quality over quantity. We create, preserve and protect the unusual. With quiet confidence, with passion and perseverance, we pursue the extraordinary. Could you be Tasmanian?
Your leadership path could take you anywhere. What’s different about Tasmania is our culture and lifestyle. Here, you will be encouraged to be your authentic self, to share your wisdom with our emerging generation of medical doctors, and in doing so, find your purpose.
Our remoteness helps drive a culture of invention and human connection, which feels both old-fashioned and… like the only future worth pursuing. Here in Tasmania, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to breathtaking coastlines, National Parks or award-winning restaurants or bars.
Some people surf in the early mornings and go fly fishing on weekends or take photography classes, write novels, sell preserves at the weekly farmers’ markets, learn to mountain bike. They take part in the community, volunteering and serving on boards. And their spouses and children have similar opportunities to thrive in a quieter, safer, more adventurous place.
Something is happening here, and you’re invited to be part of it.
It’s not where you were born. It’s who you are, and who you want to be. Be Tasmanian.
