Facilities

Macarthur Clinical School provides excellent conditions for learning. The administrative staff and the clinical tutors provide a friendly atmosphere and are flexible and supportive in their approach. A high patient-to-student ratio makes it easier to find patients well-suited to the focus of the week.

The Clinical School has four tutorial rooms set up. One room is used to provide experience in communication and examination with the use of video and a one way mirror for observation and teaching.

The Clinical Skills Laboratory provides a simulated environment where students can participate in a safe learning space before proceeding to the ward situation. Students will be taught and practice all clinical skills including resuscitation, venepuncture and cannulation. Simulation mannequins are used, reflecting international best practice.

Macarthur's supportive working environment makes for high student morale and the administrative team of the School is ready to respond to inquiries, and together with the doctors and nursing staff, are keen to help in any way they can.

The hospital itself is quite new and undergoing further development, and is a comfortable place to work. Parking is free. The library is well-equipped.
