Throughout the course, the radiography curriculum encourages the development
of clinical and communication skills. Students are encouraged to utilise the
specified Unit of Radiography and Medical Imaging teaching areas in order to
improve their proficiency in these skills.
Several other laboratories are equipped with computers for student use. All
students now have the right to obtain a Novell network account which will allow
them access to IBM-style PCs around the campus. This facility gives students
access to electronic mail (email) for easy communication with fellow students
and staff. Students wishing to register for an account will need to report to
the Computer Centre with their student ID card and obtain a copy of Computer
Centre regulations from the reception counter before attempting to access the
network computers.
The Biomedical Library is one of five major branch libraries of the Monash
University Library, and supports the teaching and research activities of the
medical, biological sciences and psychology departments of the university.
Online public access catalogues (OPACs) provide information concerning the
materials held in the library, and a local area network (LAN) and stand-alone
computers provide access to numerous CD-ROM databases, including Medline,
PsycLIT and Biological Abstracts. Library tutorials are provided for all
first-year medical students to familiarise them with the library, and provide
instruction in the organisation and retrieval of scientific information. The
tutorials include a CD-ROM component.
The Biomedical Library is located near the Anatomy department of the Faculty of
Medicine, and is open seven days a week during term.
In addition, the clinical radiology departments to which students will be
rostered, offer a range of library facilities.
