This General Medicine Tutor Specialist Role is a structured 6-month, accredited position. In recent years, we started a programme for a Medical Tutor Specialist position (Medical Officer Special Scale (MOSS) rotation) which will provide oversight of our General Medicine inpatient teams at Dunedin hospital. The advanced trainees in this program will work closely with the Clinical Director and Consultant Physicians to ensure an efficient and high quality service.

Supervision, both direct and indirect, will be provided by other SMOs including a consultant available for advice at all times when on call. This is an excellent opportunity to hone specialist skills before becoming fully vocationally registered.
