Experience in clinical departments is vital to developing clinical competence and this course is designed to build on the experience gained in Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Practice 1 and 2 and further develop your clinical and interpersonal skills. You will complete a Work Integrated Learning placement in an accredited Nuclear Medicine environment. Continuing commitment to reflective practice will empower you to move towards autonomous learning. After completing the course, you should be able to perform and assist with a wide range of nuclear medicine clinical procedures and have clear ideas about how to organise your clinical learning in relation to your development needs for future clinical courses.

This course involves clinical placement and there may be associated travel requirements. This Work Integrated Learning (WIL) experience will develop your knowledge and skills in the clinical setting.

During this WIL experience, you will attend clinical placement in a nuclear medicine 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.

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.
