The Provisional Fellow position in Paediatric Sleep Medicine is available at The Children's Hospital at Westmead for the 2027 Clinical Year, from 01 February 2027 to 06 February 2028.

 

This position qualifies for the Sleep Medicine Training Curriculum with the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP). The position provides an opportunity for Advanced Training in Sleep Medicine so applicants should be registered as a trainee with the RACP before commencing this position. Qualifying in Sleep Medicine can take two years in some cases, so this one year position may not complete the full training requirement for sleep medicine for all trainees - applicants should check the guidelines of their relevant College subdivision. 

The Provisional Fellow role is a leadership role within the department for junior medical staff, medical students, members of the multidisciplinary team, and across the broader hospital community. The position provides Advanced Trainees an opportunity to further their training, developing skills important for a consultant role in the spheres of clinical care, education and training as well as research with support from the team consultants and other health care professionals. The Fellow will work closely with the members of Sleep Medicine and with other clinical teams to care for patients with sleep disorders. 

Please refer to the position description and contact person for further information.
