Fellowships for Advanced Vocational Trainees

Fellowships offer a unique opportunity to consolidate specialist training while gaining high-level experience in both clinical practice and research. In Western Australia, these fellowships are typically based in major tertiary hospitals, providing access to cutting-edge facilities, multidisciplinary teams, and a diverse patient population.

These positions are designed for trainees who have completed or are nearing completion of their core specialty training. They offer:

  • Advanced clinical exposure in high-acuity settings
  • Structured research opportunities with academic supervision
  • Mentorship from senior clinicians and researchers
  • Preparation for consultant roles, including leadership and teaching experience

Fellowships are available across a range of specialties and are often aligned with the strategic priorities of WA Health.

They serve as a bridge between training and independent practice, equipping future specialists with the skills to lead innovation in healthcare delivery and medical science.
