(V2 Session dates: 6 December 2007 - 8 February 2008)
This unit provides an off-campus, workplace-based integrated learning experience in a health-related field for students in their third year of study for a Bachelor of Health degree or equivalent. Placements may be undertaken in a range of areas (eg health policy, planning, promotion, research, development, and/or education) and across a range of sectors (eg government, media, industry, unions, non-profit, industry and professional associations). Students complete a discrete project during their placement such as researching and writing a report on a specific issue. As far as possible, placements are arranged in accordance with each student's background, skills, experience, professional/academic interests and career aspirations.
Students must complete approximately 20 days on work placement plus 3 one day workshops on campus.
