Western Victoria Regional Training Hub

There are different entry points for the medicine pathway depending on how advanced your medical career is. For example, you could start your junior training with South West Healthcare before entering into the basic physician training program in Ballarat or Geelong. This leads into the advanced physician training program rotating through Warrnambool, Ballarat and Geelong.

For more more information about the medicine pathway, please email Associate Professor Deb Friedman.

The well-established surgical training program rotates through Geelong, Ballarat, Hamilton and Warrnambool hospitals.

For more more information about the surgery pathway, please email Professor Glenn Guest.

The rural generalist pathway is a supported training pathway for those working towards a career as a rural GP. Education is coordinated by MCCC GP Training in conjunction with regional health services and general practices.

The emergency medicine pathway is a predominantly rural pathway delivered over nine years from the middle of medical school to the completion of specialist emergency medicine training. Training rotates through Warrnambool, Ballarat and Portland hospitals.
