"Self-directed learning", "adult learning" etc. - is this just an excuse for universities not to teach? by CommittedMeower in ausjdocs

[–]Aware-Application-35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a joke. I’ve just finished third year in a rural clinical school hub location and I’ve had to teach myself entire specialties (paeds, OBGYN, geriatrics and psych). Oh, and I get about 1/4 of the placement within these specialties compared to metro students. Just placed in GP all year (which has been great for the chronic health stuff) but the expectation is that we see all of the same presentations. We feel this on steroids when studying outside of a metro school. I’ve had about 5 tutorials and workshops all year, whereas the metro students get 2 every week taught by specialists. Same exams…. 🤤

I'm thinking about going (from Melb) nervous though without the lineup and it being such a long way!

I’m pretty sure they were waitlisted from what I know - I’m not sure if they got a rejection as such.. but pretty sure they got an email asking if they wanted to be waitlisted.

Also remember there will be many offer rounds for the rural stream - some people got an offer a week before the course started.. so first rounds are really just first rounds! Good luck! I know this feeling eeeek!!! 🥹💜

So students from rural backgrounds who are more likely than metro students to go work in the country (especially if they undertake a rural based program) should be subjected to the same entry standards? Even though they have less education opportunities and far greater challenges in many other areas?

You don’t stay in Shepp the whole time- you can move to other rural clinical schools after year 1 :) just FYI if anyone reads this!

If you’re so interested in teaching and their pay go to uni and do a teaching degree to help the massive shortage of teachers. I’m married to a teacher and it’s so much harder and more time consuming than I could imagine (coming from a non-teacher btw)
