Course Timetable

The Adelaide Rural Clinical School follows the Community Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship (CLIC) model for medical student training. This comprises a full year of living, working and training in a rural location for your fifth year MBBS program. It is delivered in rural based communities with an integrated educational program and clinical placements. The ARCS rural medicine course constitute the three Medical and Scientific attachments for your fifth year medical studies and combines the three MEDIC ST 5005-5006-5007:A-B:RU course codes.
The Rural Medicine Course clinical placements are organised by the student coordinator in each ARCS training node. These include working in rural general practice, with parallel consulting with an experienced supervisor and clinical trainer. Clinical placements can also occur in regional and rural hospitals, with on-call, emergecny, and inpatient supervised work, to provide further experiential learning. Additionally clinical attachments are scheduled with rural or viisting medical specialists providing wider medical, surgical and specialised experience and training. Wider experiences may include community outreach clinics, health promotion activities (e.g. school visits), aboriginal medical services and other specialised clinics when locally available. -

Student Feedback
The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.
The MBBS Program has a regular program of evaluation. In addition, student representatives are appointed to MBBS committees and are encouraged to report on issues of importance to students. -

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
