To Know
- Placements have sourced by the WIL Partnerships Coordinator and students select from a list of opportunities made available through InPlace.
- Students wishing to complete a rural placement should email placements@pharmacy.uq.edu.au in advance of placements being allocated to see whether this may be possible.
- Please select your preceptor rather than the hospital name in ePortfolio as only 1 email address can be attached to each site. Instructions are in the ‘How To Guide’ section of this handbook.
