Notes
-
Work integrated learning courses - 1. Students are required to undertake MDST3006 - Clinical Practice A, MDST3007 - Clinical Practice B, MDST4004 - Advanced Clinical Practice A, and MDST4005 - Advanced Clinical Practice B in an approved pathology laboratory. Students may be required to undertake Clinical Practice in a regional laboratory. Placement outside South Australia may be allowed.
3. Students who are employed in an appropriate laboratory setting may be granted full credit for these courses.
4. Students granted full credit in MDST3006 Clinical Practice A, MDST3007 Clinical Practice B, MDST4002 Advanced Practice A and MDST4003 Advanced Practice B, and who successfully complete courses in Study Period 2, third year are permitted to enrol in the corresponding fourth year, Semester 2 courses (i.e. they are exempt from the requirements to complete all third year Semester 1 courses before enrolling in any fourth year Semester 2 courses).
