Essential criteria:

• Medical degree with current unrestricted AHPRA registration

• Demonstrated excellence in teaching, with a reflective and innovative approach.
• Demonstrated curriculum co-ordination experience.
• Knowledge of pedagogical theories and contemporary educational practices with exposure to curriculum development or educational initiatives.
