Master of Science (Health Science)

RMIT offers a range of hands-on learning experiences including use of the ALS SimMan (a high-fidelity patient simulation manikin), the Anatomage Table for 3D anatomy visualisation and virtual dissection, specialised medical radiation labs with VR simulation technology, and industry-connected placements with partners such as Northern Health and VetCheck Technologies.

Yes, many of RMIT's health courses offer the opportunity to undertake industry-connected placements in professional environments. In 2023, 19,730 RMIT students completed work-integrated learning activities, and students have had placements at institutions such as the Royal Melbourne Hospital, gaining practical experience and professional contacts.

The Anatomage Table is a 3D anatomy visualisation and virtual dissection tool used in RMIT's digital human bioscience facilities. It acts as a digital cadaver, allowing students and academics to digitally explore and dissect the anatomical systems of the body, including removing elements such as skin, the cardiovascular system, or specific organs in an interactive and immersive way — without needing a physical cadaver.
