Overall, I enjoyed this placement (O&G RMO - Wollongong)! The working environment was generally quite supportive, and there were plenty of other junior doctors (some also LOCUMs) to get to know. As an RMO, you could be rostered anywhere from the ward, antenatal clinic and nights. The work can be quite intense at times, with busy clinics and acuity on birth suite etc, so would probably suit someone best who has previously done at least some time in O&G. As an RMO, you do always have a reg on birth suite and an SMO in clinic to ask questions though - so you're never on your own. All the records are on EMR which is a a plus. It was a really busy placement with quite a bit of rostered (and sometimes un-rostered) overtime, so unfortunately didn't get to see much of the sights around this. There is a lovely spot at the lighthouse though (~10 mins from the hospital), which is a great space to grab some fish and chips and watch the sunset over the ocean!
