Psychology and medical students meet to collaborate
21 AUGUST 2015
Clinical psychology students at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst will meet with visiting medical students on Monday 24 August to explore how the two disciplines can best work together. Students studying the Master of Clinical Psychology online with the CSU School of Psychology will be at the University in Bathurst for a three-day residential school from Monday 24 to Wednesday 26 August. Part of their program will see them meet with fourth-year medical students from the University of Western Sydney (UWS) for the day to explore how their respective disciplines can work together to enhance patient care and outcomes. Associate Professor Michael Kiernan, a lecturer in the CSU Master of Clinical Psychology, said, "Charles Sturt University is committed to developing and ingraining an inter-disciplinary model of care in all our clinical students. In this way, individual patients will receive an enhanced level of care and treatment, and the health system will deliver services more efficiently and effectively. It is increasingly important that all health service providers work together to provide the best care possible for patients." The students will meet at the CSU Wellness Centre and Ochre Health Medical Centre at CSU in Bathurst from 11am to 4.30pm Monday 24 August.
