Course overview

To experience a variety of care paradigms and a range of patient presentations students undertake placements in in-patient and out-patient settings, including hospital wards and clinics, with teams working in the relevant disciplines. Placements (6 weeks Adult Medicine; 6 weeks Cancer, Palliative Care and Specialty Medicine; 6 weeks Psychiatry) allow students to build collegial relationships with teams of health care professionals and to participate in a range of clinical activities. Throughout the course students will participate in supporting teaching sessions and engage with resources that cover topics in adult medicine, cancer medicine, palliative care, mental health and psychiatry.
