ATS3968 Health humanities professional practice

Students are placed as interns with a host partner organisation and complete either a unique research project or work experience-based project jointly defined by the host partner organisation and the unit coordinator. Monash Arts partners with organisations across a diverse range of industries and sectors, including aged and disability services, arts organisations, community, women’s and multicultural services, hospitals, medical associations, research institutes, and medical libraries and museums. Students will be carefully matched to a placement that will allow them to further strengthen specific thematic knowledge or methodological skills they have developed during the major. The main component of the unit involves students undertaking a minimum of 77 hours equivalent of placement in order to complete a final project agreed upon between the host partner organisation and the Faculty. The host partner organisation provides field supervision and the Faculty provides academic supervision.
