This session will be accessible via Zoom video-conferencing but recommended to attend in person (if able).

Could you please let me know if you plan to attend the exam preparation session in-person (to assist with catering needs, etc.)

 

 

 

Following on from this session, RMTV will be hosting the RMTV Information Evening The attendees have nominated their preferences and advised who they will be discussing potential employment in 2021. This session will commence at 5.50pm with conclusion @7.00pm, with catering being served from 5.00pm. This for most of you will be an opportunity to access and meet with representatives of the training sites to ask questions pertaining to the rotation etc.. It is imperative that you attend to find out what each site has to offer and make yourself known to representatives – this will undoubtedly assist you at interview time.

 

At this stage, I have confirmed/tentative attendance of representatives from the following Victorian Rehabilitation Medicine training sites:

  • Alfred Health (Caulfield)

As with most events, RMTV cannot prepare for unexplained circumstances and late cancellations but I will do my best to keep you informed and plan for a well organised evening for all attendees.

Kind regards,

RMTV
