General Information

Overview

This first work integrated learning unit builds on the knowledge, skills and professional behaviour developed during the Master of Laboratory Medicine course. Theoretical and technical knowledge will be applied to a professional work environment in a specialised field of diagnostic Medical Laboratory Science. You will perform technical skills and analyse the outcomes to meet the competencies and skills required of an entry-level Medical Laboratory Scientist. You will perform, and reflect on, safe operations and quality management in the medical laboratory, with due regard for legislation, regulation and accreditation. Behavioural aspects of professional practice are emphasised and you are expected to reflect on your own communication, decision-making and team-work skills. Critical appraisal of performance will enable you to attain competency in your professional, technical and analytical skills.

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 Self-reflection

Feedback

Some of the assessment due dates fell in/close to the final term examination period that caused significant stress to some students

Recommendation

Given clinical placement may fall outside of the standard University term dates, related assessment due dates may differ depending on individual arrangements. Students will be encouraged to refer to the unit Moodle site for assessment details and to instigate strategies to manage competing unit obligations early in unit enrolment. Students will be encouraged to access ALC workshops on time management for additional support managing study commitments.

Feedback from Student Placement Site Evaluation

Feedback

Students very satisfied with the placement allocations in pathology (& research labs)

Recommendation

Continue to maintain the strong relationships with placement providers to ensure continuation of offers for future cohorts of CM18 CQU placement students
