Teaching and Learning

Sexual Health Across Clinical Contexts (SHACC) is taught with a combination of learning styles. In person (on campus) workshops and tutorials are spread across the topic with 3 weeks of face-to-face learning and 1 week of clinical placement.

In person learning will be provided in Parkville for metropolitan students and in Shepparton for all rural students. Rural students who do not normally reside in Shepparton will be supported to attend Shepparton. Timetabling is set to attempt to have rural students attending Shepparton for classes on consecutive days to minimise travel. The clinical placements will be located in either metropolitan or rural settings. All effort will be made for your placement to be at a location of choice- this may not always be possible.

Other learning is online and will be directed and self-paced throughout the topic. Students who have not completed SHACC in MD1 or MD2 will be required to undertake prerequisite learning prior to commencing this topic (up to ten hours).

Topic administration changes may require alterations to topic schedules which will be communicated to students as soon as possible.
