Melbourne students sample Gippsland placements

Two University of Melbourne final year medical students undertook a two week placement at Latrobe Community Health Service in May.

Jane Taylor, Interprofessional Educator, supervised the students and scheduled them to participate in the various programs across LCHS. The students were involved in visits to clients, attended the Moe After Hours Medical Service (MAHMS), meetings, workshops, clinics and undertook an audit of several LCHS clients.

The students gave a presentation to staff at the end of their placement. Recent feedback from the University of Melbourne was that the students have found their placement rewarding and enjoyable and Melbourne now has medical students indicating that they would like to be considered for placements scheduled at LCHS for the rest of 2012.
