Basic Physician Training (BPT)

The Alfred is recognised as a Level III training hospital by the RACP, and therefore all 36 months of basic training can be undertaken ​within its rotations.

In addition to rotations within Alfred Health, BPT 2/3 rotations include Frankston Hospital, Goulburn Valley Health, Mildura Base Hospital, and ​Calvary Health Care, Bethlehem​.

Alfred Health has a high success rate in both the written and clinical FRACP exams and there is commitment by senior staff to support registrars through the exam process.

Rotations are tailored around exam / course times so candidates are local during exam preparation time.

Advanced training in general medicine and most subspecialties can be undertaken at Alfred Health.

Alfred Health is a member of the Bayside - Peninsula Consortium.
