The course timetable for the Geriatrics and General Practice placement is complicated due to the combining of two separately organised and co-ordinated rotations. Detailed information about the GP rotation timetable is available in the Course Handbook, available via the MLTU website and should be referred to. Information regarding the placement site is available via the University of 新浪彩票 Discipline of GP website

As the GP clinics operate independently of the University, students will need to liaise with the clinical director at their placement site to determine useful learning opportunities and develop a timetable that ensures all assessment requirements are met.

Tutorials will be held in the School of Population health & Clinical Practice, Level 7 Terrace Towers 178 North Terrace on the Monday 3.00pm – 5.00pm, Tuesday 10.00am - 12.30pm & Thursday 9.00am – 11.30am.

The typical timetable for the 2 week GP rotation can be seen below.  Students will need to ensure that they are aware of School of Medicine Teaching Series session that may be organised during the GP rotation. If a clash occurs, students are to attend SMTS and inform the clinical director of their placement site of their absence in advance.

For the Geriatrics rotation, students will be evenly divided between QEH and RAH. At RAH the group will be split into 2 parallel streams, each doing 2 weeks acute and then 2 weeks rehabilitation with a final combined + GP week.


GERIATRICS AT QEH
The Geriatrics component of the placement delivered at the QEH is complicated and comprises 3 separate timetables: a master timetable for the lecture series, a rehabilitation medicine clinical placement timetable and the geriatrics clinical placement timetable. Unfortunately, this structure cannot be altered. However, time has been allocated for students during their rotation orientation session on the first day to consolidate these timetables and ask questions directly to Prof Visvananathan.

Students are expected to discuss their individual geriatrics placement timetable with their preceptor. While undertaking the clinical geriatrics placement, students are advised to attend, where it doesn’t clash with other learning commitments:
1) 0900-1000 Mon unit meeting – Level 5B Seminar Room- except first Monday of every month
2) 1400-1500 Friday Radiology Meeting Radiology Room behind the information counter,Ground Floor


GERIATRICS AT RAH
The Geriatrics component of the placement delivered at the RAH has its own detailed timetable available on the MLTU website. Students are advised to consult the MLTU website prior to the commencement of their placement. Further information is also available in the student handbook.
