Long Term Placements

At least 25% of local (Commonwealth Supported) UNSW medical students undertake a minimum of 12 months and an average of 18 months of their clinical learning in residential rural environments.

Please refer to the Faculty of Medicine policy relating to Allocation of Students to Clinical Environment at http://www.med.unsw.edu.au/medweb.nsf/page/Policies#ug for eligibility.

From 2007, Phase 2 students who completed their ILP in 2006, will have the opportunity to undertake their Phase 2 course work in either Albury Wodonga, Coffs Harbour or Wagga Wagga.

Further opportunities are available for students interested in undertaking an Independent Learning Project (ILP).

All sites offer a full years placement in Phase 3 (Years 5 and 6).
