Preparing for your placement
Rural clinical placements provide a unique insight into the provision of healthcare in rural communities.
There are a variety of factors you should consider in preparation for a rural clinical placement, including cultural awareness, driver safety, access to services and access to support. We highly recommend you spend time researching the community you will be a part of during your placement and familiarising yourself with the location and local services.
Several resources are available to help you prepare for your upcoming placement. Our clinical educators are here to connect you with supports and other students on rural clinical placements.
