MEDI72-502: Extended Clinical Practice and Research, B

Description

This subject is undertaken within the healthcare environment through a series of clinical placements that provide learning in local, interstate, and international healthcare settings, with opportunities for elective placements or a Capstone experience. This will enable students to extend their knowledge and clinical reasoning, and management skills in the treatment of patients with undifferentiated diagnoses and common conditions. Students further develop skills in multidisciplinary teamwork, organisation, and planning of care to prepare them for entry into the internship training program once graduated. Students will continue to collect evidence for their MD e-Portfolio, complete their MD Project, and present at an annual Faculty MD Conference.
