Course Summary
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.
You must meet several pre-clinical placement requirements during your studies in the Medical Radiations program and before attempting this WIL course, including a Working With Children Check, a Criminal Record Check, first aid, manual handling training, and other requirements. All arrangements for, and costs associated with, these requirements are your responsibility. Please visit the WIL Canvas site for further information. 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.
