| Unit Description |
As a component of the pre-internship year, this unit develops the skills that will be required for independent clinical practice in medicine. It will provide an opportunity to review previously learned topics. Through active participation in the clinical work of the medical teams to which they are attached, the unit will permit students to refine their basic clinical skills and knowledge, to perfect core practical skills that are necessary for internship, and to integrate their knowledge of basic science/physiology with clinical practice. Students will also learn the administrative skills required for internship including rational planning of investigations, appropriate referral to other medical and allied health services, discharge planning, and liaison with community services and general practitioners. This unit is offered in both Semester IX and Semester X, on a rotating basis. Full-time students who enrol in Medicine must enrol concurrently in Psychiatry/Primary Health Care Selective. In exceptional circumstances, such as when a student fails one of the concurrent units, enrolments outside of these concurrent arrangements may be approved by the head of school. |
