This subject contains a 2 days Compulsory Workplace Learning component.
The primary purpose of these short workplace learning experiences is to orientate and familiarise students to the variety of veterinary clinical settings and the workplace cultures encountered therein. Students visit one of 15 veterinary practices within a 2 hour driving time from Wagga. These practices have been assessed to ensure their suitability by university staff. Subject learning activities completed prior to the practice visits prepare students for their clinical experience. Students have specific objectives during their visits, which comprise of discussion topics and areas to observe. These objectives are discussed afterwards in small group debriefs with academic staff who have clinical experience. Students can contact academic staff at any time to discuss concerns or any issues they encounter while in workplaces.
