PhAST Track Orientation Module: Placement

 All students must wear black, enclosed shoes for placement.

There is a smoke-free policy within the University and therefore smoking is not permitted in any buildings.  It is unacceptable for students to smoke in placement uniform in a public place.

Jewellery should be kept to a minimum whilst you are on clinical placements.  Visible and/or multiple body piercing jewellery can be offensive to patients and members of the profession and should be kept to a minimum and/or removed whilst the student is undertaking clinical placement.

The Placement Coordinator supports the Placement Pharmacist.  Loretta is responsible for collating placement documents (i.e., Hepatitis B, First Aid and Blue Card documentation), along with the arrangement of placements in 1^st, 3^rd and 4^th years.  Loretta also coordinates the allocation of placements and if you have any questions of an administrative nature she will discuss these with you.  Loretta is the first point of contact for placement information.

The Placement pharmacist is Mr Joe Grasso.  Mr Grasso is located in 047-031 and can be contacted on email (joseph.grasso@jcu.edu.au) or by telephone (4781 5299).
