A Clinical Focus
|
|
Our programs and courses have a strong clinical focus. Our students enjoy state-of-the-art clinical teaching facilities to assist on campus learning, and students are exposed to a range of learning activities and clinical experiences off campus, within both the private and public health sectors. Students have opportunities for gaining experience in acute, non-acute and community settings, and in many diverse areas including children's nursing, medical/surgical nursing, emergency department, critical care environments, aged care and mental health. In the postgraduate and research area, we promote an evidence-based approach and encourage research activities that will inform and improve clinical practice. |
