Clinical training sessions (click here for information)
Clinical training is done after the 5-day theory course. The sessions are direct hands-on training at SHINE SA clinics, with support from senior SHINE SA clinicians. We are a secondary referral centre for men’s and women’s sexual and reproductive health. The clinics will extend your practical skills and knowledge. 40 QI&CPD points (category 1) are applicable on successful completion of the clinical sessions.
NB: At least one year of postgraduate experience in Australia is required. Participants should have an interest in reproductive and sexual health and preferably have some basic experience in gynaecological examination. Participants should also be currently working in a field which will allow them to reinforce their clinical training, such as General Practice or O&G.
Theory training is applied for on the assumption of the above and clinical sessions can be refused or terminated due to lack of basic competency.
