Great unit & am

learning a lot about

professional conduct

and situations.

Workshops are

good fun.

Lectures are a

tad boring.

At first I found the structure of this

unit confusing because I am more

used to "text book structured"

learning - however

after the first couple of weeks I

am finding I look forward to the

workshops. We'll see how much

I've actually retained in

content learning after the first quiz

this week.

It provides me with a whole

picture of Australian health

system and a good

understanding of my

responsibility of future

career. I enjoyed studying with

students from different majors

of our faculty under the

instruction of tutors.

Well run unit and I like

the emphasis being

put on multidisciplinary

care.
