This course is an innovative, student-focused course designed for registered nurses, midwives and other health professionals. Students have the opportunity to extend their clinical and professional skills via a structured, work integrated learning program. In addition to a series of structured coursework that will introduce students to the concepts and necessary skills for successful work integrated learning, students will also undertake individual projects/assessment items that address the needs of their employer, their personal and professional development, and the requirements of the program. These projects will need to be achievable within the students employment setting and could relate to clinical practice, management or other relevant aspects of their role. A unique trilateral relationship between the student, University and industry is an essential underpinning of this program.
