Biomedical Science - Year 3 Hospital Placement

fiddle_sticks

Hey,

I'm wondering does anyone have any information about the 3rd Year Hospital Placement for the Biomedical Science course? In particular when are the exams held (after each 5 week block or at the end of the 26 weeks)?

Thanks in advance.

i done the hospital placement last year.... goin into 4th year now

the assessments are at the end of each 5 weeks, you register for the dicipline youre in online a week or two beforehand. the tests were on friday afternoons, and most hospitals let students take the day off for the test.

we also had a seminar later that afternoon that you kinda have to go to.

we done a computer based mcq and short notes test, (with no negative marking )they were all dead handy actually compared to the second year assessments.

you also have to submit case studies (around 4-5 pages) for each dicipline 5 weeks after you leave it.... ie. your first one is submitted 10 weeks into placement and the last one is submitted 5 weeks after returning to college.

placement is nothing to worry about really, it gets fairly boring sometimes but requires very little effort compared to college
