Fifth year consists of a series of hospital rotations with a strong emphasis on hands-on experience. Rotations are through medicine, surgery, paediatrics and obstetrics and gynaecology with specific teaching in 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 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.
