Fifth year
Fifth year consists of a series of hospital rotations with a strong emphasis on
hands-on experience. Rotations are through medicine, surgery, paediatrics,
obstetrics and gynaecology, palliative care and infectious diseases together
with an elective term. The major hospitals involved in these rotations include
Monash Medical Centre (Clayton and Moorabbin campuses), the Alfred group of
hospitals (Alfred Hospital and Caulfield General Medical Centre), and
Fairfield, Box Hill, Mornington Peninsula, Dandenong and various country
hospitals. The tuition is in many cases strengthened by using a log-book
approach to check that all students have been trained in the appropriate
procedures and skills.
