BMSC13024 - Immersive Learning Experiences 2

General Information

Unit Synopsis

This is the second of the two placement units within your course. In this unit, you will be placed within diverse healthcare settings in the regional communities of Central Queensland and the Wide Bay. The placements are observational in nature, and will provide you with experiential learning opportunities that will enable you to continue to connect with regional communities. You will gain a greater appreciation of the diversity and complexity of healthcare delivery in a regional context, following on from earlier placements. Through the placement experiences you will enhance your knowledge and develop conceptual understanding of clinical conditions. You will observe a variety of communication skills in healthcare settings and reflect on these to further develop your personal and professional attributes in communication and cultural awareness. You will apply reflective practice to appreciate the social accountability of the role of healthcare professionals in regional communities.Mandatory on-campus activities at the Rockhampton and Bundaberg campuses form a key aspect of this unit.
