- Clinical attachment will take place within 12 months of attending the face-to-face course
- Minimum 6 clinical training sessions at True plus a self-sourced men's health session
- Please see the FAQs at the bottom of the page for more information regarding the clinical attachment component
Clinical placements provide participants with the opportunity to develop and apply theoretical principles relating to contraceptive technology, gain confidence and expertise in clinical examination and procedures, and further develop communication and brief counselling skills in sexual and preventative health care. Training in True clinics with experienced clinical instructors aims to increase confidence in client communication and offers discussion of approaches to management of reproductive and sexual health issues.
It is possible to undertake the Theory & Assessment components with True and Clinical Attachment in another state. In this case, True will request payment for Theory & Assessment only and the participant will need to contact the Family Planning Organisation in their selected state to arrange the Clinical Attachment (fees and arrangements may vary). Likewise, course participants who have completed Theory & Assessment in another state (including the Distance Education course offered by FPNSW) may undertake their Clinical Attachment with True.
