The education program at the Sydney Clinical School is delivered within a supportive environment - academically, clinically, and administratively - with high levels of engagement and enthusiasm for teaching across the hospital community.  Embedded within a culture of teaching, students are encouraged to immerse themselves in the many high-quality clinical learning opportunities presented within the Hospital.

Clinical placements are available within a wide range of specialty areas including the disciplines of medicine, surgery, acute care, and women’s health and newborn care.

Placements may include history taking and examination, pre-admission consultations, patient consultations in specialist rooms, teaching ward rounds with consultants and/or registrars, ward work with registrars and/or interns, attendance at specialised clinics, attendance at operating theatre and procedural rooms, immediate post-operative experience in recovery, and attendance at multi-disciplinary team meetings. Placements are supported by additional teaching sessions, including within a simulated environment where there are opportunities to practice skills learnt.
