Albury Wodonga Private Hospital and La Trobe University Clinical School

The establishment of a Clinical School at the Albury Wodonga Private Hospital has paved the way for exciting new nursing opportunities in the border region.

In partnership with La Trobe University’s Albury Wodonga campus, the hospital is pleased to be able to offer general medical/surgical and specialty clinical experience at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The aim of the school is to create firm educational ties between the two organisations and to establish unique nursing programs in which the clinical and theoretical components are closely integrated.

Based on a preceptorship model, the School offers a comprehensive range of programs for nurses at all stages of their career development. Exclusive clinical placements at the hospital are available to Bachelor of Nursing students in either three year or four year double degree streams. Postgraduate qualifications are currently available in Perioperative Nursing and will soon be available in the areas of Mental Health and Acute Care nursing.

Together, AWPH and La Trobe University also plan to explore opportunities for nursing research and staff development throughout the hospital.
