Hospital matching service for students
The end of university years are looming for Year 5D students across the state, a fact that was brought home at an initial intern matching session in April.
The Postgraduate Medical Council of Victoria (PMCV) conducts a computer matching service to allocate intern positions to Victorian hospitals and health services.
The matching service is a preference-based and merit-based system, which matches the preferences of both candidates and hospitals/health services.
For Year 5D students it’s a glimpse into their first year out of university.
The sessions in April covered important dates, how to register for the match, nominating preferences and applying to hospitals/health services.
Information about the number and distribution of intern positions and notification was also provided.
Students in Gippsland and other centres video-conferenced in on Friday evening, 12 April.
