Abstract
Abstract: Work-integrated learning (WIL) is essential for preparing health students to work in complex health environments. Facilitating WIL in rural areas can also contribute to improving the health of those communities, to students’ understanding of the complex relationship between socio-geographic location and health, and to developing the future health workforce in these communities. This presentation will outline research conducted by the Department of Rural Health that exemplifies the design and coordination components of rural WIL that optimise student learning and capability development. In particular, the contribution of service-learning and micro-placements will be examined. The research demonstrates how these WIL models contribute to career readiness by promoting learner agency and changing the power dynamics present in traditional apprenticeship-style WIL models.

| Other | CSEdX is a key professional learning event that celebrates best practices, explores our potential; and challenges us to provide every learner with a learning experience that is connected, relevant, thought-provoking, and future focussed. It is the place where teaching academics can share and collaboratively learn about teaching practice: strategies, pedagogies, technologies, and approaches. The sessions offer the opportunity to explore ways to teach and to connect with peers to ‘talk teaching’. It is the place to share the ways we improve our work through scholarly activity, bring discipline research into our teaching, and use student voices to guide teaching decisions. CSEdX will drive innovative teaching and learning for 2023 because it offers an opportunity to bring together all staff who are connected to student learning: faculty academics and divisional staff who support the design of learning, or who lead student learning for 3 days of collective thinking and celebrating. It can be a flagship event at the university bringing together professional learning foci from across the year and shaping collective consideration of a conceptual direction for scholarly focus for the next 12 months- guiding the planning for what we need to be focussing on in teaching and scholarly activity for teaching. The Charles Sturt EdX Conference is being held online in 2022. |
