Expectations on clinical or research work experience

The MD program is delivered over an extended academic year, so recess and vacation breaks are an important component for student success in the overall program.  

Extensive clinical experiences are offered throughout the program and there is no requirement or expectation that students will undertake additional, extra-curricular or/compulsory clinical experiences in the vacation breaks.  

The Graduate School of Medicine does not recommend or encourage work experience extra-curricular or outside the academic year. The school acknowledges that some students may choose to undertake to do so at certain times. Should a student decide to undertake clinical/research work experience, it will be the student’s responsibility to organise all details, including appropriate insurance. Whilst on work experience student will not be a representatives of UOW or the Graduate School of Medicine or the MD program. 

Please note that the ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵapp of ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵapp does not consider compulsory clinical placements as work experience, and that any work experience organised independently by a student is not part of the compulsory clinical placement time. 

Clinical experience - paid employment

Paid employment or close personal relationships of students within Host Organisation, in which the student has/may or is undertaking clinical placement

• If you have a current / previous employment engagement or personal relationship with a Host organisation where you have been or may be assigned for clinical placement, you will be required to declare this relationship during the allocation process for each Phase. You can do this by emailing the GSM Head of Students at head-of-students-GM@uow.edu.au.
• We acknowledge that many GSM students work in Host Organisations. We envisage that it will only be in exceptional circumstances that the GSM may amend placements in a particular Host Organisation. In line with ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵapp policy should such a situation arise, students have the right to appeal the academic decision.
