Follow fourth-year OT student Gemma, as she shares her experience completing a block placement in a community private practice across paediatric and older adult caseloads! From home and school visits to clinic sessions and outreach trips to Miles, every day brought something new. Gemma also had the opportunity to engage in community events, live with fellow healthcare students and built meaningful community connections 🐮👩🌾💚
Take a look back at a typical day during Leticia and Alicia’s 10-week rural placement in Cloncurry! Over the past 10 weeks, they had the opportunity to work with children across kindergarten, school and Telehealth settings, as well as run a weekly aged care group. From building meaningful connections to developing their clinical skills, their placement in Cloncurry was filled with invaluable learning experiences and unforgettable memories!!!🌾🧸💻
