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.

Whether you're aiming to deepen your clinical expertise, contribute to impactful research, or prepare for a consultant position, these fellowships provide a valuable steppingstone in your medical career.
