Placement opportunity |
Enrolled students |
Placement opportunity for two 2nd
year post-graduate students to train a client on a
twice weekly, on-going basis at VU
Footscray park campus. The initial assessment will
involve Cybex testing to gain
baseline data. The students will be
required to follow the client's
existing exercise plan designed by
client's physio. The client's
musculoskeletal condition is
variable, so the students must act
as case managers and monitor changes
closely whilst developing a working
relationship with the physio. Expressions of
interest email
Dr Dan van der Westhuizen
directly to make an appointment for
your clinical work placement
readiness assessment for this
position. This placement has the
potential to be ongoing. |

both from students and clinical
supervisors. She developed some
excellent new placement
opportunities, most notably with
YMCA. VUER is in the process of
appointing her successor. In the
