Looking for a Geriatric Medicine Registrar role that gives you exposure beyond the traditional inpatient ward? This metropolitan Adelaide opportunity offers experience across inpatient, outpatient and community-based geriatric medicine, managing complex older patients within a major tertiary teaching workplace.

For doctors interested in Geriatric Medicine, General Medicine or building stronger experience in complex multidisciplinary care, this is an opportunity to develop a genuinely broad clinical skill set.

Why This Role Stands Out

- Broad Geriatric Medicine experience within a major tertiary setting
- Manage complex older patients with multiple medical and functional needs
- Exposure across inpatient, outpatient and community-based care
- Experience assessing and managing key geriatric syndromes
- Exposure to dementia and delirium assessment
- Experience within orthogeriatric care
- Work closely with multidisciplinary teams across aged care, rehabilitation and palliative care
- Develop experience in discharge planning and transitions of care
- Opportunities to contribute to teaching, research and quality improvement

The Clinical Experience

This is a varied registrar role with exposure to the complexities that make Geriatric Medicine such a valuable area of physician training. You may be involved in:

- Comprehensive assessment of older patients
- Management of complex medical presentations and multimorbidity
- Dementia assessment and management
- Delirium evaluation and management
- Orthogeriatric care
- Inpatient Geriatric Medicine
- Outpatient services
- Community-based geriatric care
- Discharge planning and transitions of care
- Working with rehabilitation, aged care and palliative care teams
- Coordinating care with nursing and allied health professionals

Teaching, Research & Development





Working within a tertiary teaching environment also provides opportunities to develop outside day-to-day clinical work.

- Work alongside senior medical clinicians
- Participate in multidisciplinary care
- Opportunities to teach and support junior medical staff
- Medical student teaching opportunities
- Exposure to clinical governance and quality improvement
- Opportunities to engage with departmental research activities
- University-linked teaching and academic environment
