The re-structure has been achieved by recruiting new consultant staff with sub-specialty interests, and a general philosophical commitment to improve and maintain the services provided by the department. <br><br> Clinical services are provided by a team of Consultant Physicians who work in Long Stay Medical Units, the Short Stay Medical Unit and the Medical Outpatient Clinics. <br><br> Registrars will rotate through all service units and RMOs will reside exclusively in the Short Stay Medical Unit. <br><br> Besides general medicine, Internal Medicine consultants have specialty interests in cardiovascular medicine, metabolic medicine, gastroenterology, stroke medicine, emergency medicine, obstetric medicine, clinical pharmacology, mood disorders, diabetes and medical education. <br><br> Some consultants are also formally attached to specialty departments in the hospital. <br><br> The department is also comprised of three full time academic staff from the UWA s School of Medicine and Pharmacology. <br><br> Two consultants within the department are also linked to clinical services at Swan District Hospital. <br><br> Besides clinical service, the department is also involved in the teaching of undergraduate medical and dental students and postgraduate training for the FRACP. <br><br> The department also undertakes several clinical research projects and audits. The School of Medicine and Pharmacology component of the department also undertakes further research. </p> <!-- End main page content --> <!-- DO NOT ALTER BELOW THIS POINT! --> <br> </td></tr></table> <div class="disclaimer" align="center"> <hr size="1" color="#BD2911" width="40%"> <br> &copy; Royal Perth Hospital, 2006<br> All rights reserved.<br><br> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="50%"> <tr> <td width="33%" valign="middle" align="center"><a href="../disclaimer.html" title="Disclaimer">Disclaimer</a></td> <td width="34%" valign="middle" align="center"><a href="../copyright.html" title="Copyright">Copyright</a></td> <td width="33%" valign="middle" align="center"><a href="../privacy.html" title="Privacy">Privacy</a></td> </tr></table> <br><br> </div> </body> </html>
