Skills Day Success

The TROHPIQ skillsday at Herston last Saturday was a great success! More than 120 students came geared with their stethoscopes and a burning desire to gain some hands-on experience. Students rotated between 5 skills stations, which were venepuncture, cannulation, suturing, vital signs and airway management and bandaging. Each session began with a brief and succinct presentation from an experienced clinician in the relevant field. The rest of the session, students formed small groups, each led by a student tutor, and put those newly-acquired skills to practice on the mannequins. It was fantastic to see the beaming faces as students hurried on from one session to the next, and to hear their excited chatter about the skills over morning/afternoon tea. A big thank you to all the participants and the tutors!

New Wide Bay Rural Clinical School Announced

Posted on January 30, 2012 | Leave a comment

In an effort to better support students the University of Queensland Rural Clinical School units (UQRCS) at Fraser Coast and Bundaberg have officially merged to become the Rural Clinical School – Wide Bay.

Prof Geoff Nicholson, Head of the UQRCS, plans for the merger to “facilitate ongoing development of medical education and research in the Wide Bay region,’

According to the Clinical Director of the UQRCS Fraser Coast, Dr Riitta Partanen indicated the “resources such as library and IT will be shared across the two locations, and now students will now have the flexibility to move between sites, in order to maximise the available resources and placements with Queensland Health, the private hospital sector, community specialists and GPs.”

Later this year MBBS students will be able to preference either Wide Bay (Bundaberg) or Wide Bay (Fraser Coast) for their third and/or fourth clinical training years.

Any enquiries about the merger can be directed to RCSenquiries@uq.edu.au
