Is it for you?
One of the most rewarding moves you're ever likely to make.
There are any number of reasons why a town or region can be left without the services of a doctor. The retirement or relocation of the previous practitioner, or even an unexpected emergency, illness or holiday. In circumstances like these, the AMA (WA) can arrange the following:
| • |
A longer placement for you in a town without a doctor. |
| • |
A short term placement where holiday or emergency relief is required for the resident practitioner. |
| • |
A Divisional or Regional locum in a regional centre where you are able to provide support for surrounding areas. |
| • |
General practice and hospital positions. |
