Rural Placements

• Many students complete their PHRM3012 community pharmacy placements in a rural location. The school has existing partners who provide rural placements, but students can also self-source.
• Funding is available and information on this can be found in the Rural Placements chapter of this book.
• Further information will be communicated to you late in semester 1. Please contact Jo Williams, the WIL Partnerships Coordinator at placements@pharmacy.uq.edu.au with any questions.
