STUDENT CLINICAL PLACEMENT GUIDE
Student Clinical Placement Guide for Diagnostic Radiography and Medical Imaging Students
Written by three Medical Radiation Science students from NSW this highly informative guide has been designed to provide you with a framework for what clinical placements in diagnostic radiography/ medical imaging are, how to prepare for them and some tips and tricks to managing the clinical placement journey throughout your degree.
It is important to remember that each university will have its own unique sources of information for students going on placement and this guide does not replace that. It has been designed to complement that information from the student perspective.
