Clinical Teaching Block (CTB) Information rior to attending a clinical placement you must successfully complete a 5 day CTB during which time you will practice and be assessed on the skills required to undertake your placement. N.B. MID 204 and MID306 do not have a CTB attached; the skills you will need are covered in the CTB attached to MID202 and MID303 respectively and you will have been assessed accordingly. The custom built laboratories at Darwin and Alice Springs campuses provide an opportunity for you to meet other students and staff, while exposing you to aspects of primary maternity and health care in the NT. Clinical placement Information Students may nominate for a placement in their own state or territory at a preferred health care facility, but are not permitted to arrange their own placement/s. lacements interstate are not guaranteed. CDU has strong ties with both private and public health care facilities throughout Australia and has successfully placed students in all states and territories; however, due to the demand made on interstate health care facilities by many educational institutions, many facilities are now limiting the number of placements they offer and this may impact on course progression. LEASE NOTE: Students may need to travel outside their home town in order to complete their placement unit/s. Students are responsible for making their own travel and accommodation arrangements and meeting all associated costs. Whilst every effort will be made to meet a request for a preferred facility within the semester for which the student is enrolled, CDU reserves the right to place students at a facility other than that which is nominated and outside the semester for which they have enrolled. In order to meet the clinical requirements of the midwifery course, students must be prepared to attend placement outside semester dates, including semester breaks and be able to be on-call at times. 5
