Medical Student Electives in Trauma

Student visitors to the Trauma Unit are always welcome. Student's from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) rate the Liverpool Hospital Trauma Unit student attachment as one of the best. To provide a comprehensive service, a structured approach is required. In conjunction with the UNSW, Kensington, we have to formally approve your visit and the following criteria must be met. The trauma unit does not arrange accommodation but the information/contact will be provided when applying for enrolment.

Criteria:

1. The minimum length of attachment is 4 weeks.
2. You must apply 6 months in advance as you have to be registered with the Medical Board of NSW and University of NSW.
3. You must receive approval from the Trauma Unit at Liverpool Hospital.
4. Always e-mail 2 people: Michael Sugrue, Director (michael.sugrue@swsahs.nsw.gov.au) and Thelma Allen, Administrator (thelma.allen@swsahs.nsw.gov.au).
5. There are usually 2 students attached to the Trauma Unit at a time.
6. Research projects to be undertaken need approval from the Director and the Ethics Committee.

If you wish to spend your elective in the Trauma Unit at Liverpool Hospital you will be made very welcome, however, we do expect students to work hard and to participate 100% in the activities of the department.
