NSW Rural Resident Medical Officer Cadetships

Please note that NSW Health has recently changed the eligibility criteria for the NSW Rural Resident Medical Officer Cadetship 2011. Applicants must now be studying at a medical school in NSW or can be studying medicine at an Australian medical school outside of the state but must have completed their HSC in NSW.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander medical students who are interested in rural medicine and are studying in NSW/or who completed Year 12 in NSW are encouraged to apply for the NSW Rural Resident Medical Officer Cadetship for Indigenous Medical Students. Cadets receive $15,000pa and in return spend two years at an eligible base hospital after graduation. Additional benefits to becoming a Cadet include contribution to relocation costs and participation in RDN conferences and networking weekends. The Cadetship is funded by NSW Health and applications close on 2 August 2010. For more information email students@nswrdn.com.au
