MEDI6100 Community Engagement Week

A key part of the MEDI6100 program is Community Engagement Week, where all first-year students spend 3-4 days in the Wheatbelt, accommodated with a host family. That week is planned Week 8, 12-15 March 2024. Students who need to organise their plans around childcare or similar, please take note. Please note attendance at this placement is compulsory for all first-year students.

Any queries should be directed to the Aboriginal, Rural & Remote Health Placements Coordinator at medicineruralplacements@nd.edu.au

Please advise if you have a medical reason or family commitment, e.g. sole carer (NOT work commitments) that means you would obtain a medical certificate to exempt you from spending 3 nights away from home. Students with a medical exemption from the 4 day/3 night placement are expected to undertake a virtual placement.

• All students are required to have a valid Working With Children card (from WA) and a recent National Police Clearance. Information to apply for both documents is available in the Guidelines for completing MEDI6100 required documentation

All students are required to complete the MEDI6100 Community Engagement Week Student Questionnaire by 19th January 2024.
