I have heard that the last year of the BDSc program involves clinical placements. Is this correct?
The final year of the BDSc program involves 37 weeks (2 semesters) of clinical placement in State Government health clinics throughout Queensland, including rural, school, hospital and community clinics. These clinics are located in districts such as Ipswich, Gold Coast, Logan, Redcliffe, Kawana, Nambour, Caboolture, Mackay, Maryborough, Bundaberg, Rockhampton, Charters Towers, Cairns and Townsville. Students are allocated to one metropolitan placement and one rural placement during the year. Travel reimbursement is provided to students for one return fare per semester. However, students will incur varying accommodation costs depending upon clinical placement and location.
