Cairns Hospital is a major referral centre for Far North Queensland, serving a diverse population across tropical, rural and remote settings that stretch to Cape York and the Torres Strait. The medicine is unlike anywhere else in Australia: tropical infections, marine envenomation, major trauma, retrieval medicine, and caring for a large Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population.
Unique opportunities include:
• Tropical emergency medicine
• Rural and remote clinician education through EMET
• Interprofessional education
• Teaching and academic links with James Cook University, including its medical students
• Mentorship from experienced FACEM educators and simulation faculty
