‘It was a joy to go to work each day. Not once did I feel like I wasn’t contributing to the team of healthcare workers. Staff always had time to teach me/answer questions and as a result, I believe I have grown over the past 5 weeks.’
Dietetics student
What do students say?
‘I enjoyed being able to work closely with other health professionals and the opportunity to provide personalised care for each client. My teamwork skills have improved immensely as a result of this placement. I also now appreciate the importance of client advocacy and some of the associated advantages and challenges of a rural setting. Having placement in a rural setting has increased my desire to work in a rural setting once I graduate.’
Speech Pathology student
What do students say?
“Going rural for my placement gave me options and experiences for growth that I am confident I wouldn’t have had in metro regions. I’ll be a better psychologist because of my rural placement, and this wouldn’t have been possible without financial support from Going Rural Health. GRH staff were available for assistance and genuinely interested in my progress. Thank you! “
