General Information

Overview

This unit builds on other pathology related units in the course, as well as Clinical Assessment and Diagnosis 1. You will study non-musculoskeletal patient presentations, starting from the point of first contact with the patient, through history taking and physical examination, and finally to the formulation of a diagnosis. Through this process, you will also continue to develop your knowledge of common pathologies of each body system. By the end of the unit, your problem solving, analytical and critical thinking skills will have improved.

Feedback from SUTE and in person

Feedback from Email and in person

Feedback

The students enjoyed the tutorial class layout and structure of embedding the vitals at the start every week.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the Unit Coordinator continue the tutorial structure for the next offering.

Feedback from SUTE and in person

Feedback

The students enjoyed the videos that accompanied the practical components to the subject, however they have requested updated videos with a full routine included.
