About the seminar: In 2011 researchers from the Australian Health Workforce Institute at the University of Melbourne, Monash University and Peninsula Health conducted a pilot study with medical students, exploring their experiences of a clinical placement at a palliative and rehabilitative care facility. The researchers were particularly interested in the students’ perceptions of this as an unstructured interprofessional placement and their responses to working with health professionals from nursing and allied health.
This national event is a forum for representatives from government, education providers and health organisations to discuss the challenges in the clinical placement system.
This symposium was developed jointly by the University of Melbourne and Monash University to recognise and highlight the outstanding and continuing contribution to industrial relations by Emeritus Professor Joe Isaac. Professor Isaac has long been one of Australia’s most distinguished scholars and practitioners in the field of industrial relations.
