This subject contains a 75.5 days Compulsory Workplace Learning component.
Students undertake 96 hours of workplace learning in the on-campus clinic as preparation for transition to 4th year. 4th year workplace learning is divided into four discrete blocks:
1. Internal placement: 1 day/week for 8 weeks in the on-campus clinic for community practice in a regional/rural setting (64 hours).
2. External placement: 3 days/week for 8 weeks in an external high risk public health placement site. Normally this will be in Australia, but may occur at international sites e.g. UK; New Zealand (192 hours).
3. External placement: 3 days/week for 8 weeks in an external community public health placement site. Normally this will be in Australia, but may occur at international sites e.g. Vietnam; UK; New Zealand (192 hours).
4. Internal consolidation placement: 2.5 days/week for 6 weeks in the on-campus clinic, to enable students to consolidate their knowledge and skills prior to graduation (60 hours).
