Teaching & Learning Strategies: This module will be taught as two practical classes of three hours duration per week. The class will be split into two groups to manage the patient caseload. The students begin term one with observation and will gradually take more responsibility as the terms progress and knowledge builds. The clinic will start with low numbers of patients per clinic session, where the supervisors conduct full assessments, treatments and rehabilitation and students observe and are involved in the process of problem-solving and planning. As the year progresses, students are given more responsibility and eventually their own patient caseload under supervision. Reflection is encouraged with regular self-assessment, peer-assessment and tutor-assessment.
Module Aim: To expose the student to a working clinic and patients with a wide range of injuries. To consolidate theoretical and practical knowledge by observing and implementing clinical skills and to commence application of the problem orientated treatment approach under direct supervision in the clinical setting.
