Cardiology Basic and Advanced Training offer a Central Region registrar rotation. This is a comprehensive three year rotation incorporating exposure to tertiary and secondary care centres leaving candidates ideally placed to apply for SMO positions or consider fellowship options. The first 12 months are usually split into two six months rotations. One part is spent at Nelson Hospital training in general Cardiology with exposure to interventional Cardiology and Imaging, the other part would be spent at Hutt Hospital with exposure to all imaging modalities and participation in the cath lab session at Wellington. Both rotations are ideally suited to familiarise with echo and cath lab skills. The following 24 months you will then spent in the advanced trainee programme at Wellington Hospital. This includes rotations in the cath lab, imaging, electrophysiology and devices as well as a clinical rotation.
The hospitals have a strong relationship with the University of Otago, and trainees also provide teaching for medical students and junior doctors. Time is available for research and audit activity.
The cardiology training program is on the background of an excellent environment for basic physician training provided in Wellington and Hutt hospitals. This includes with rotations available in general medicine, and subspecialties when these positions are not filled by advanced trainees including I.D., Endocrine, Cardiology, Gastroenterology, Blood and Cancer, Neurology, Renal, Respiratory, AT&R, Geriatrics, and Rheumatology.
The Registrar participates in the Cardiology after-hours roster with six Cardiology Registrars to cover weekends, evenings and statutory holidays. This run is recognised for FRACP basic training.
