Studying at VU involves a blend of theoretical and experiential learning. You’ll benefit from three-way partnership at the Centre of Health, Research and Education (CHRE) with University of Melbourne and Western Health at the Sunshine Hospital. In third year, you’ll undertake a research project with a clinical and/or research team. This will allow you to put your theoretical knowledge into practice in the laboratory simulated learning environments, and community and industry settings. You’ll also learn through practical scenarios (including workplaces and community settings) where you’ll apply the fundamentals of medical techniques.
