General Information

Overview

In this unit you will apply your foundation knowledge of haematology to the study of how haematological disorders manifest and are diagnosed through changes in number, cytogenetics and morphology of cells. Diseases of haemostasis including therapeutic management with anticoagulants will also be discussed. This advanced unit builds on the knowledge and skills taught in previous units and will prepare you for work as a Medical Laboratory Scientist in Haematology. You will be required to attend a compulsory residential school in Rockhampton and an assessment task will be completed on campus during this residential school.

Previous Student Feedback

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from Student feedback in person.

Feedback

Students enjoyed the enhancements to interaction from the projector screens and blood film morphology at Residential school.

Recommendation

Maintain this form of teaching to continue to engage students.

Feedback from SUTE, Student feedback in person and self reflection.

Feedback

Some students found the number of case studies discussed were too many as they took longer than expected to discuss.

Recommendation

Promote the significance of preparation for Residential school and pre-lab learning to ensure the Case studies process is understood before residential school commences, and they can be completed more efficiently. A pre- residential school tutorial will ensure all students have this knowledge of case study structure prior to attending residential school. The residential school will also be increased to run for an extra day.

Feedback from SUTE

Feedback

Students enjoyed the way that tutorials were interactive and presented case studies.

Recommendation

Continue to run the tutorial session in this manner.
