Information and Application form

Education and Training Committee

Australian and New Zealand Association of Neurologists

National Selection Process for 2011 trainees

• Advanced trainee positions are advertised in June/July and applicants are invited to submit an application form, CV, and hospital preference sheet (all hospitals in which the applicant would be interested in working ranked in numerical order of preference) and to ask their referees to submit a standardised referee form to the Secretary of ANZAN.  Applicants are strongly advised to visit departments and meet with the Head of Department in which they would like to work before the interviews. The closing date for applications is one week after the results of the Part I FRACP.
• Applicants who meet the basic selection criteria are interviewed in each State by the State Education Committee comprising all the heads of departments of participating hospitals together with an administrator. At the end of the interview process, the committee ranks all applicants (using a score which takes account of the interview, CV and referees reports). Candidates who  meet the predetermined cutoff score will be asked to submit a list of hospital positions in order of preference. This will matched against each hospital’s list of candidates in order of preference which takes into account the ranking of applicants (see above.  The number of new trainee positions will be dependent upon the number of trainees completing or exiting training, together with any new positions available across the system. Progression within the program is dependent upon the receipt of satisfactory interim reports from Term Supervisors.
• After the matching process is completed, the process of matching unmatched applicants with unmatched hospitals is facilitated.  At this stage, applicants and hospitals are informed of the results of the selection process. For those hospitals and applicants who have been successfully matched, no further negotiations will generally be considered.
• Please note that verbal job offers may not be made nor accepted during the centralised recruitment process. This is a requirement not only of ANZAN, but also of some State Health Departments
