CQUniversity Unit Profile.

The Portfolio assessment comprises two (2) components; Part A: an initial and final mock report to be sent to a General Practitioner at the completion of a General Practitioner Management Plan (GPMP) treatment cycle; Part B: A discharge interview with a mock client following their final session under their GPMP. You will be randomly provided mock clients  in the form of case studies. Multiple case studies will be made available to ensure a broad spectrum of clients.

Part A General Practitioner Management Plan: You will create two (2) 1–2-page reports, with necessary information required within an initial and final GPMP report.

Part B Discharge interview: You will undertake a mock (oral) discharge interview in an online (Telehealth) format, detailing relevant information to a client that has just completed their last GPMP visit with an Exercise Physiologist. This discharge interview will outline achievements made regarding functional capacity, behaviour change strategies to be implemented in the home setting, and any home exercise program that is recommended to the client.

Across Part A and Part B of this assessment item you will be assessed according to the criteria below. A detailed marking rubric for Part A and Part B will be made available on the Unit Moodle site. 

• Accuracy, completeness, and professionalism of the initial and final reports prepared for the referring General Practitioner
• Application of clinical reasoning to assessment findings, exercise interventions, progress monitoring, and recommendations for ongoing management
• Appropriate communication of client outcomes, functional improvements, and treatment effectiveness within the General Practitioner Management Plan reporting framework
• Integration of evidence-based exercise physiology principles and recommendations relevant to the client's presentation
• Ability to communicate discharge information clearly and effectively to the client, including achievements, self-management strategies, and ongoing exercise recommendations
• Application of behaviour change principles and strategies to support continued physical activity and health outcomes following discharge
• Professional verbal communication, client-centred practice, and engagement during the discharge interview
• Professional writing, documentation, and adherence to contemporary standards for clinical reporting and communication

Portfolio Part A comprises the development of two (2) professional reports prepared for a referring General Practitioner as part of a General Practitioner Management Plan (GPMP). You are required to prepare an initial report and a final report that communicate relevant assessment findings, exercise interventions, client progress, and recommendations for ongoing management. The reports should demonstrate the ability to synthesise clinical information, apply evidence-based exercise physiology principles, and communicate outcomes in a clear, concise, and professional manner appropriate for a medical audience. Each report should be 1–2 pages in length and reflect contemporary standards of clinical documentation and interprofessional communication.

Part A level of GenAI use allowed: 

Level 3 - AI may be used to help complete the task, including idea generation, drafting, feedback, and refinement. Students should critically evaluate and modify the AI-suggested outputs, demonstrating their understanding.

Part B level of GenAI use allowed: 

Level 1: You must not use Al at any point during the assessment. You must demonstrate your core skills and knowledge.

You will complete a 60-minute in-class test at the commencement of the residential school. Content will be related to your knowledge of physiology, pathophysiology, and other determinants of health and function for metabolic and renal conditions. There will also be questions related to physiological responses and adaptations to acute and chronic exercise for clients with metabolic and renal conditions.  This in-class test will contain a variety of question styles to assess your understanding. 

The 72-hour grace period does not apply to this assessment item

Level of GenAI use allowed: 

Level 1: You must not use Al at any point during the assessment. You must demonstrate your core skills and knowledge.

You will be assessed during the residential school on the elements of working with a client with a metabolic and renal condition. You will assume the role of an AEP and be assessed on your ability to screen, develop an appropriate intervention, and deliver that intervention, to a mock client (another student) who will be provided with specific case details including information on the condition; medication history; social determinants of health; history of other practitioners who have undertaken an assessments of health characteristics. 

You will be assessed on, but not limited to: 

• Client safety
• The use of appropriate communication
• The use of appropriate professional behaviour
• Choice and implementation of screening and assessment tools
• The planning and delivery of an appropriate program
