One of the objectives of the GP Super Clinic program is to support the future primary health care workforce. This is achieved at the ECU Health Centre through integrating clinical teaching with service delivery. Clinical training placements are offered in:
The Wanneroo GP Super Clinic hosts clinical placements for ECU’s undergraduate nursing students. Nursing placements are either extended rotation placements, or short-term, make-up placements for students who need to complete required hours of clinical practice in order to complete a unit or graduate.
Please email the Clinical Placement Team in the School of Nursing and Midwifery for more information about nursing clinical training.
ECU students undertaking the Bachelor of Science (Paramedical Science) can undertake clinical placements at the Wanneroo GP Super Clinic. Paramedicine and nursing students are often onsite in the Super Clinic at the same time, giving students a chance to share information and learn how to work in a multidisciplinary team.
More information on clinical training in paramedicine is available by emailing Paramedicine Clinical Placement.
ECU offers the two-year Master of Clinical Psychology, in which the first clinical placement occurs in the ECU Psychological Services Centre. Students undertake an extended, 6 month placement, offering services directly to the community and supervised by accredited clinical psychologists.
ECU is one of only a few Australian universities which provides a training clinic located in the community, which provides a more rounded and representative clinical training experience for students integrated with other co-located services.
The Free Exercise Clinic provides clinical training opportunities for ECU’s third and fourth year exercise science students to work in a community-based setting with a wide range of clients. The Clinic also has a mental health focus, looking at the links between physical activity and improved mental health, so students gain a cross-disciplinary perspective.
For information on the clinical education opportunities in the Free Exercise Clinic, please email Dr Caitlin Fox-Harding, Lecturer, Exercise Science.
ECU and Business Station, operator of the Allied Health Precinct, work collaboratively to promote and facilitate work-integrated learning opportunities for ECU students at the Precinct.
