Victoria does not collect data regarding the fee status of domestic students studying in Victoria or interstate. Also these numbers are an underestimate as not all PGY2 posts are included in the postgraduate medical council computer match.
Actual allocation was not available. Figures based on number of offers made.
Figure based on number of offers made.
Commencement data are based upon the total number of declined job offers registered in the eRecruitment system.
Approximate number only. Postgraduate Medical Council of SA was in its first year of managing TMO recruitment.
A total of 667 Hospital medical officer 2 positions were included in the computer matching process and 644 positions were matched. Of these 644 matched positions, 18 candidates declined their Victorian offer. All Hospital medical officer positions (i.e. 667) were filled either from candidates who participated in the Match (and were unmatched) or via direct recruitment of a health service. This figure is based on incomplete data and only reflects the number of PGY2 positions advised by health services to include in the Victorian Hospital medical officer match. Health services are able to exempt positions from the matching process, so the number is an underestimate.
Commencement data are approximate and based upon the total number of acceptances registered in the eRecruitment system.
Includes only the number of PGY2 commencing who completed internship in SA.
