Placement preparation module – Health, Medicine and Behavioural Sciences

You must complete the required placement preparation module before starting your first placement in Health, Medicine and Behavioural Sciences.

UQ has a duty of care to its students to ensure they are adequately prepared to commence placements. Likewise, as a student, you are required to abide by UQ policies and procedures relevant to your studies including those related to occupational health and safety and fitness to practise.

You need to complete the relevant module and assessments in addition to any provider specific training that may be required of you.
