Clinical placement opportunities
UQ assists visiting students with medical elective placements. Medical elective placements are four to eight weeks in duration, and are available to all Queensland, interstate and international medical students who have completed at least one semester of clinical training.
UQ has multiple agreements in place giving us the authority to coordinate medical elective placements in locations extending from the New South Wales state border through to, and including, Rockhampton. Any medical electives north of Rockhampton are administered by James Cook University.
