A Fellow (ATR) position is being advertised to work 0.2 EFT (1 day a week, each Friday) with the Paediatricians in School Program. 

The Paediatricians in School Program is part of the Developmental and Community Paediatric Team at Monash Children’s Hospital.  The Developmental and Community Paediatric Unit sees children from birth to 18 years of age who have medical, developmental and behavioural issues. The position is approximately 80% ‘in community’ (working at the on-site at the school-based Clinic in Narre Warren South) and 20% protected training and supervision time (eg case conferences, audit, research and administrative time). The position is suited to advance-trainees (ATRs) intending to be a general or developmental/ community paediatrician. It also provides a valuable broader understanding of developmental issues to registrars training in all subspecialties. 

The position is fully accredited by the RACP (ATC in Community Child Health and General Paediatrics).

This is a wonderful opportunity to work independently in the community, with onsite supervision and support from the Developmental and Community Paediatric Unit at Monash Children’s Hospital. The Fellow in Paediatricians in School Program will be allocated to a school-based clinic with a variety of presenting issues. Children are referred by school-based services eg school nurses, vice principal, local allied health team, with the consent of their family/legal guardians. The Fellow in Paediatricians in School Program will assess referred children, and advise on health questions. The Fellow in Paediatricians in School Program will gain experience in assessing children with learning, developmental, behavioural, psychosocial issues and physical disabilities, and will develop management plans in conjunction with allied health support, school staff and families and their supervising Paediatrician.
