We have two very busy outpatient clinics, more than 3,500 consultations per year. Inpatient beds at our Hospital are maintained on two campuses with eight beds being located at the Caulfield General Medical Centre campus and one at the Alfred campus. It is expected that each trainee will also complete a well-supervised project that will be presented at a relevant meeting and result in a peer-reviewed publication.
