Courses for Rural Hospital Medicine programme

We always advise new students to enrol in only one course for their first semester, until they learn how to fit study time of up to 10 hours a week over the 12 week semester, with the demands of a busy clinical career. From experience we know some students take on too much, realise this too late and are left paying for courses they cannot complete because they have not withdrawn within the two week deadline.

Each course you take:

  • is worth 15 points
  • is offered in semester 1 (12 weeks from early March) or semester 2 (12 weeks from July)
  • represents 120 hours of study over the semester
  • counts towards your postgraduate certificate (60 points) or diploma (120 points)

Courses:

POPLHLTH 709 Evidence for Best Practice (online course) taught in first semester of each year = 15 points. This course is compulsory unless you have taken an equivalent paper/course covering research methodology, evidience based medicine and clinical epidemiology. To apply for an exemption you will need to provide details of your previous experience.

POPLPRAC 740 Urgent Primary Surgical Care (online course) taught in the second semester of each year = 15 points.

One or both of the above courses need to be completed before you can commence the course below.

POPLPRAC 763 A&B Urgent Primary Orthopaedic Surgical Care (online course) taught over two semesters = 30 points. POPLHLTH 709 and/or POPLPRAC 740 must be completed first.
