I live in Hobart and a UniSA external student - I'm still waiting to hear back from the Uni as to whether I can complete my clinical placement in Hobart (with my fingers crossed as going to SA for placement would be next to imposible for me twice a year).
Thanks

Hi Sue,
Those of us currently studying interstate got a fright when we heard about this letter! It seems it is a problem with the interstate hospitals not uniSA itself.
It will affect all new applicants, and shouldn't affect those of us already studying interstate.

Hi all,
Just thought I'd update those others of you who may have enrolled to do the external BMid course through Uni SA. I guess I'd been feeling that there was something uncertain around the course, and today I received a letter from the uni saying that in future, all clinical placements for this course have to happen in SA (whereas to date students have found placements wherever they've resided).
Reason cited was "due to pressure on clinical places from within those states" (any state apart from SA)... makes you laugh since only Vic and SA have BMid programs. I know the huge Base Hospital near me (1300 births p/a) only has 2 places for midwifery students which are allocated to the students from Sturt Uni at Wagga Wagga. Oh dear.
I'm yet to determine whether the clinical placements can be done in blocks, in which case one could fly to SA for a few weeks here and there as required .. just another hurdle on the pathway...
Any of you currently doing this course having problems now with your clinical placements?
