Dozens of medical interns - or first year doctors - have started their professional journeys across the State’s public hospitals this month.
The 2025 intake has seen 75 medical interns begin their placements in January after graduating from their medical degrees, with an additional 18 doctors to begin in March.
Hundreds of resident medical officers – doctors with one to three years of previous experience – also begin new placements across the State this month, with many of these having chosen to continue to work with the Tasmanian Health Service (THS)
The THS is a fantastic place for doctors to begin their careers, with an abundance of opportunities to learn and grow, and best of all – to make a real difference to their local communities.
After completing orientation programs with their new hospitals, the interns have now joined their teams on hospital wards as an important part of Tasmania's medical workforce.
During their first year, interns will rotate through a variety of specialties across the hospital, including the Emergency Department, surgery and general medicine, to gain widespread experience.
Many new interns are local graduates who recently completed their medical studies at the University of Tasmania, evidencing the strong ongoing relationship with the THS.
