Khrisna Tumali MD4
Western Health Intern 2017

2. Unmatched Process Timeline in 2016
Aug 11 – P2 offers released
48 p2 were matched
42 p2 were unmatched
So what happened if you were unmatched?

3. Unmatched Process You go into Round 3 process:
Unmatched p2 and p3 applicants.
From 11 August until Dec/Jan
Round 3 purely deals with hospital networks and applicants, no PMCV and computer match involved.
At this stage, the hospitals do not have to think about priority rankings.

4. Unmatched Process A spot open up
Someone declined their position to take the job interstate
The medical workforce unit (MWU) would let PMCV know about the position
PMCV would give MWU list of the unmatched
PMCV don’t candidates when a spot open up
Then, the MWU would decide who they are going to employ based on their list
Could be p2 or p3 at this stage
Once MWU decide, they would let PMCV know and inform the applicant!
Via phone call – keep your phone ON at all times!
I call Edwina (from PMCV Manager) – round 3 process if there is a spot open up (i.e. someone declined their position to take job interstate). The health service would let PMCV know about the position then PMCV would gave the hospital the unmatched lists.
Have to make yourself known to the MWU that you are unmatched and keen to get a job in Vic

Internship priority list by state - df
English - make sure you check the English requirements (6 years continuous, secondary school or require to sit English test)
Secondary school - Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United States of America, South Africa, the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland,
