Professional Experience Placement (PEP)
Students will be allocated PEP within individual health care agencies. Students may be expected to relocate and are expected to travel to where PEP is available. To be eligible to undertake PEP all students must be ‘Verified’ as meeting College of Health and Medicine PEP Safety in practice Compliance as per the Course Entry Requirements.
Students who cannot or do not comply with these requirements will not be allocated PEP and therefore will not be able to complete this unit.
PEP days MAY differ from University of Tasmania calendar semester dates.
Details of PEP compliance can be found at https://www.utas.edu.au/health/professional-experience-placement/safety-in-practice-requirements
