Clinical Chinese Medicine 3 provides a Work Integrated Learning experience in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real or simulated workplace context and where feedback from industry and/or community is integral to your experience. WIL activities for this course involve clinical placements consisting of observation and treatment of patients under supervision. This is a one-semester course that will cover a number of conditions in the areas of dermatology, external medicine, ear, nose, throat and eye. Preventive measures will also be included. For each of these key topics, you will consider aetiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, syndrome differentiation and treatment. This course has a substantial practical component where you will be required to put into practice the learning from previous courses in the treatment of disorders of dermatology, external medicine, ear, nose, throat and eye. This practicum will consist of treatment of patients under the supervision of a registered and RMIT approved Chinese medicine practitioner with a minimum of 5 years' experience.

If you have a long term medical condition and/or disability you should contact the Program Coordinator or the Equitable Learning Services for further advice. Students need to be able to meet the inherent requirements of the program.

At any time prior to or during your placement if there are concerns raised related to your fitness to practice the clinical coordinator can request that you gain full medical clearance to continue your placement.
