Experience in clinical departments is vital to you developing clinical competence. This course is designed to provide you not only with this experience but also tools to maximise learning during clinical placements. This course is the first in a series of clinical courses that provides you with the opportunity to consolidate your academic learning in a clinical environment and aims to enable you to carry out the basic skills of a radiation therapist under supervision. After completion of this course you will be able to assist with routine clinical procedures and be prepared to organise your clinical learning in relation to your development needs for future clinical courses.
This course includes 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.
If you have a long-term medical condition and/or disability, you should contact the Program Manager or Equitable Learning Services for further advice. Students must be able to meet the inherent requirements of the program.
At any time prior to or during your placement, if concerns are raised regarding your fitness to practise, the Clinical Coordinator may request that you obtain full medical clearance before continuing your placement.
You will be notified of specific placement details as early as possible via InPlace. Placement information is subject to change at any time up until placement commencement, so please check your student email account daily. Please note that you may be required to travel to attend your allocated clinical venue.
