Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
Pre-requisites: MEDI13001 Science and Instrumentation 3, and MEDI13002 Imaging Procedures 3, which must have been successfully completed within the last twelve months. If this twelve month period has been exceeded, the student must undergo a formal refresher of technical and professional skills. MEDI13004 Medical Imaging Clinical Placement 2 and Co-Requisites: MEDI13006 Imaging Procedures 4. If the student has completed MEDI13006 more than twelve months prior to commencing MEDI13005, the student must undergo a formal refresher of technical and professional skills.
Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability.
