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 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. Is this not a real placement. If so amend the wording to align with the other streams:

In addition to your on-campus learning, you will attend clinical placement in a radiotherapy department. You will have the opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge and skills for assessment in a clinical environment. Feedback from industry and/or the professional community will be integral to your experience and professional development. Your WIL clinical placement will take place at an allocated clinical department in accordance with AHPRA requirements.
