Join our Department of General and Acute Medicine at John Hunter Hospital, the major tertiary referral centre for the Hunter, New England and Northern NSW regions. As part of a large, collaborative physician workforce, you will help us provide expert medical care across inpatient, consultative, ambulatory and acute care settings while contributing to teaching, research, clinical leadership and service innovation.
