EAST COAST MEDICAL BPT NETWORK – Second Round AMR 2027 – Applications Close 11/10/26
An exciting opportunity exists to join the East Coast Medical Network as a Basic Physician Trainee
The East Coast Medical Network may offer 1- or 2-year contracts (as required for completion of their length of training) to applicants who have completed their time in an accredited BPT role. All other applicants will be offered 3-year contracts, subject to change, with final rankings from the application process and service provision requirements determining the length of training contract that will be offered. Previous or current registration with RACP in non-BPT roles does not guarantee a 2-year contract.
If you are holding a BPT offer from this current AMR campaign, then any applications you make for subsequent round BPT positions during the 2027 AMR campaign will not be considered.
Where you'll be working
The East Coast Medical Network is dedicated to training balanced, well-rounded and competent physicians.
Vocationally based training is delivered across five locations along the spectacular East Coast of New South Wales: Prince of Wales Hospital, Sydney Hospital, The Royal Hospital for Women, Port Macquarie Base Hospital and Shellharbour Hospital.
We support our trainees to reach their full potential through an interactive and individualised education program underpinned by the principles of opportunity, equity and fairness. While the success of the network is reflected in our consistently strong performance in the RACP written and clinical examinations, we measure success more broadly through the ability of our graduates to secure their preferred advanced training positions and through the strong reputation ECMN trainees for their knowledge, clinical acumen and work ethic.
The ECMN offers a broad range of subspecialty medical terms across both metropolitan and regional settings. There are no standalone night terms within the network. A comprehensive preference system is used to allocate rotations and annual leave, with the aim of providing trainees with a diverse range of clinical experiences.
Our written education program complements the RACP's Physician Education Program and is delivered weekly during protected teaching time. Sessions focus on direct interaction with experts in their fields and are videoconferenced to all peripheral sites from the first week of training. All trainees are given the opportunity to attend a two-week revision course in the penultimate year of their ECMN training contract, regardless of the duration of prior RACP training completed.
Our clinical examination preparation program is comprehensive and includes several structured activities each week, including practice short and long cases, dedicated neurology teaching and communication skills tutorials. Trainees are eligible to participate in the clinical examination preparation program during the final year of their ECMN training contract, regardless of the duration of prior training completed.
Our professional development program aims to broaden trainees' skills beyond clinical medicine, with sessions covering leadership, supervision of junior medical officers, communication, curriculum vitae preparation and interview skills. There are also significant opportunities to become involved in teaching and research through the network's strong affiliation with the University of New South Wales.
More information about the ECMN can be found on our website.
