Position Profile:
Advanced trainee registrars in Immunology and Immunopathology are selected and deployed via a state-wide scheme. The participating hospitals are Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, Royal Perth Hospital, Fiona Stanley Hospital and Perth Children’s Hospital, as well as the related PathWest. Over the 3–4 year training programme, trainees rotate to all or most of the participating sites. This enables trainees to experience the whole spectrum of the specialty. It is tailored as much as possible to individual training needs.

There are two training pathways in Clinical Immunology and Allergy which can be undertaken by adult physician trainees after successful completion of basic training and the FRACP clinical:

• FRACP training in Clinical Immunology and Allergy this is a three-year training program in Clinical Immunology & Allergy leading to fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (FRACP). Completion of this program will enable an adult physician to practice as a clinical immunologist and allergist in a community private practice and/or hospital setting; and
• Combined FRACP and FRCPA in Clinical Immunology, Allergy and Immunopathology. This is a four-year training program, which includes laboratory training in diagnostic Immunopathology leading to fellowship of both the Royal Australasian College of Physicians and the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (FRACP FRCPA).

Applications are invited for both the Combined Clinical/Immunopathology pathway and the Clinical-only pathway. This includes candidates with an interest in pursuing future clinical practice in Allergy. Neither pathway is preferentially weighted in recruitment, and candidates will be appointed across both streams.

Both training pathways can also include the option of pursuing a higher degree (PhD, MPH, etc) during or following advanced training.
