18 East Gippsland Community Based Internship Program About the East Gippsland CBI Program The East Gippsland Community Based Internship (EGCBI) program is a cooperative collaboration between The Central Gippsland Health Service, the Bairnsdale Regional Health Service, the Macleod St Medical Centre (Bairnsdale), Clocktower Medical Centre (Sale) and additional key community sites across the region. In 2017, we will facilitate the placement of five interns in the region for their full year of internship. This will involve three interns placed in the Bairnsdale region and two interns placed in the Sale region, but with an integrated and rurally oriented education program and a Director of Clinical Training to coordinate and oversee the training. Core rotations (surgery, emergency medicine, medicine) will be completed in either of the community focused hospitals and the remainder of the time spent in an integrated term in community sites. A community based internship program creates a rural pathway for intern training, which provides competitive career choices compared with metropolitan hospital based internships. Interns experience working in hospitals in which both specialists and general practitioners provide services, and in the community to increase the community responsiveness of the healthcare workforce and competencies in community oriented care. Previous graduates have progressed to enter into GP Training programs, and also Basic Physician Training programs. Contact Details Website: Juliet Church Program Manager PH: Juliet.church@brhs.com.au Description of Hospitals Bairnsdale Regional Health Service (BRHS) Bairnsdale Regional Health Service provides services including comprehensive primary care, acute care, aged care, community and home based health services to a growing population of 40,000 people across a land mass of 21,000 square kilometres. For further information go to Central Gippsland Health Service (CGHS) Central Gippsland Health Service is located in south east Victoria and is the major provider of health and community services in Wellington Shire. The total population of the Shire is approximately 42,000, making it the third largest local government area by size in Victoria. The main hospital site is located in Sale which is where prevocational medical training is situated. The CGHS Acute Care Division provides acute care as part of an integrated service with 97 acute beds across three campuses (Sale, Maffra and Heyfield), 209 nursing home and hostel beds and 98 independent living units. For further information go to Clocktower Medical Centre, Sale Clocktower Medical Centre has eight GPs and three practice nurses on duty. A number of the GPs provide anaesthetic and obstetric services and admit patients to the hospital GP ward. The practice is located in a large, modern, purpose built medical centre, centrally situated in Sale. There are eleven consulting rooms, a large nursing complex (including a casualty type area), an audio room and one procedure room. Gippsland Pathology has a collection centre on site, and around 750 patients are seen each week. The Centre is accredited for Registrar, medical student and PGPPP training. Tutorials are held regularly and usually rotate through the partners. Medical education is encouraged through educational meetings held weekly at the Hospital and many other local meetings including satellite broadcasts. For further information go to McLeod St Medical Centre, Bairnsdale McLeod St Medical Centre has 13 GPs, practice manager, two fulltime nurses, two part-time nurses, and seven reception and account staff. The GPs admit and manage medical patients, and provide obstetric and anaesthetic services for the hospital. The Centre is housed in a purpose built facility, consisting of a spacious waiting area, twelve consulting rooms, two procedure rooms, three nursing cubicles, an ECG room, modern kitchen/ dining area and a large meeting/library room. A pathology provider is on site. The Centre is accredited for Registrar, medical student and PGPPP training. Supervisors hold regular formal teaching sessions. For further information: The Integrated Structure You will rotate through four competencies that comprise the community internship: Community site competencies Emergency medicine competencies Medicine competencies Surgery competencies There will also be an opportunity for an intern to spend an entire year in the Bairnsdale region with a traditional hospital internship experience, and an intern in the Bairnsdale region to combine a tradition hospital internship program with a 10 week integrated rotation. This caters to a diversity of individual preferences. PMCV Intern and HMO Hospital Directory Page 16

19 The diagram below summarises the structure of these rotations in both the Bairnsdale and Sale regions. The Community Based Interns have a 3hr evening face-toface session each month, which comprise hands on learning activities in the Skills and Simulation Laboratory. This allows for the enhancement of skill acquisition, and also provides a time for case presentations and catch-up/debrief time spent with the other Interns. This is in addition to the weekly educational sessions each Intern has in their health service or medical clinic. One-on-one teaching on the run moments and usual supervisory review are in addition to this dedicated off-line time. The Community Practice rotation is generally designed to extend over 20 weeks rather than the traditional 10 week rotation. A primary purpose of this extended rotation is to allow you to become familiar with the interface between primary and secondary care. In Bairnsdale, general practitioners provide all anaesthetic and obstetric services and admit medical patients under their care. In Sale, although there are more resident specialist medical practitioners, some general practitioners provide anaesthetic and obstetric services and there is a separate ward for patients who are under the care of their general practitioner. It is proposed that during the 20 week community experience, you will spend approximately half of your time in the general practice undertaking parallel consulting with a number of the general practitioners and the remaining time rotating through various sites and experiences (Aged care, Aboriginal health, anaesthetics, obstetrics etc) with your GP supervisor and other visiting specialists. General Information Conditions of Employment The conditions of employment and salary rates will be as per the Victorian Public Health Sector (AMA Victoria) Doctors in Training (Single Interest Employers) Enterprise Agreement 2013 Education Program The Education Program is a key component of the CBI and one that will be a coordinated activity involving all interns in the area and involve all sites. Both BRHS and CGHS have extensive educational programs. The program will ensure that: Each intern has the opportunity to attend a full year of educational activities that are based on the Australian Curriculum Framework for Junior Doctors Attendance is marked and evaluation of the educational sessions occurs Duplication is avoided wherever possible, including through use of recording and videoconferencing between sites The program has a strong skills based component, working in association with the Monash Rural Clinical School, and that all five interns are released from their respective terms to attend these workshops Where appropriate, some educational activities will be multidisciplinary and/or vertically integrated either with medical students or GPs Each intern will have a required number of presentations at Grand Rounds throughout the year. Orientation You will be orientated to the Community Based Internship training program as a group at a face-to-face week long orientation that covers all sites and all aspects of the community based internship. At the conclusion of this Orientation week, you will be well and truly ready to begin your Internship!
