During my terms as an intern and RMO, I have demonstrated exceptional clinical experience that is required for a successful junior doctor working as a resident or registrar. During these terms I had many opportunities to complete patient admissions. I would correctly identify a new medical patient that requires admission and commence my clinical work up.
