This is a PASS/FAIL assessment. This assessment requires students to perform a transvaginal female pelvic exam, including professional (pre-scan, during, and post-scan) and technical (scanning) requirements that are discussed in the unit lab manual, instructed labs, lectures, and tutorials. These are outlined as follows:

Professional (pre-scan, during, and post-scan) requirements:

• Apply patient care techniques and effective communication to obtain relevant patient history, informed consent, and to direct ‘patients’ accordingly
• Apply professionalism in dealing with equipment and the scanning setting

Technical (scanning) requirements for the transvaginal female pelvis:

• Students are required to perform routine sonographic scanning techniques, image optimisation, and acquisition, in a reasonable time period to advanced beginner level. A scanning time limit of 25 mins is applied to this assessment.

Students will be assessed using the ‘assessment of readiness for clinical’ (ARC) tool, which is available on the unit Moodle site.

To pass this assessment, both the professional and technical components must be graded as a ‘pass’. The components are graded separately so that if one is passed and the other is not, only the failed component must be repeated to pass. If the student has failed only the professional component, the full assessment will be repeated, but the student will only be marked on the professional component. There is only ONE opportunity to re-sit either component of the assessment item.

Please carefully review the assessment information and ARC tool posted on the unit Moodle site.

The criteria to receive a ‘Pass’ are as follows:

A pass rate of 70% of available marks in both the technical and professional components and all bolded points in the professional component must be achieved in order to pass the assessment.

Re-evaluation options:

In the event that a student does not achieve a minimum of 70% or higher or fails one of the bolded items in the professional component of the ARC tool, they will be given ONE opportunity to re-sit the technical and/or professional components in week 12. These will be conducted by a different assessor to that of the first assessment for this module. If the student has failed only the professional component, the full assessment will be repeated, but the student will only be marked on the professional component.

Please be aware that all assessments will be video recorded for moderation purposes. The videos will not be released to students for review.

• There will be 3 online quizzes which will be held in weeks 2, 4, and 7. Once available, quizzes are open for 32 hours (i.e. open at 8 am on Tuesday and close Wednesday at 4pm AEDT).
• The content of these quizzes will be anatomy and sonographic protocol and technique for each module, and may include expected prior knowledge relevant to that module. The purpose of these quizzes is to ensure preparation PRIOR to the first lab in each scanning module.
• Once the quiz has commenced, approximately 1 minute per question will be given - for example, a 20 question quiz would be given a time limit of 20 minutes to complete. This is subject to change at the discretion of the unit coordinator based on the content of the pool of questions.
• PLEASE NOTE: A cumulative score of 70% is needed to pass this assessment - failure to complete one quiz means a maximum possible cumulative score of 66.7% = a FAIL for MEDS13002.
• Quiz dates and topics are as follows:

Pass/Fail

Students must achieve a cumulative pass rate of 70% across the three quizzes to pass this component.

PLEASE NOTE: Failure to complete one quiz means a maximum possible cumulative score of 66.7% = a FAIL for MEDS13002.

This assessment will require you to complete the documentation set forth in your MEDS13002 SSD2 Lab Manual. This includes:

• A signed Scan Lab Record, Formative Feedback Agreement, and Consent Form - Sonographic Examination for Teaching Purposes to be uploaded in week 1
• 7 Completed Formative Feedback Forms to be uploaded in week 12
• Completed Scan Lab Attendance Record to be uploaded in week 12

The purpose of this assessment is to prepare you for professional behaviour, attendance, and documentation responsibilities on clinical placement, as well as to develop self-reflection skills by setting weekly goals and following up on progress. When working clinically, patients and physicians rely on quick, efficient, and complete documentation to issue treatment.

This assessment also ties in with the On-campus Professional Behaviour Assessment. You are required to complete your Formative Feedback Forms BEFORE leaving at the end of each lab (as you would be required to complete documentation for each patient's scan before the end of a clinical shift), and to have it signed off by your instructor. You must upload all required documentation for this assessment by the due date and time to obtain a 'pass'. If you are absent for a lab, please indicate the reason for this yourself on your formative feedback form and attendance record - a tutor's signature is not required.

Pass/Fail Assessment. To obtain a 'pass', ALL documentation must be completed correctly and submitted on or before the corresponding due date and time.

All documentation to be legible and uploaded in pdf format only.

Professional behaviour is a critical part of any medical imaging profession, and encompasses the manner in which we treat our colleagues, patients, and the professional settings and equipment provided to us. The purpose of this assessment is to ensure that students from the medical sonography course are well-equipped to embody the high standards of professionalism that are expected from CQUniversity students while on their upcoming clinical placements. This assessment will require you to treat each of your lab sessions as a scheduled "work shift" and to exhibit high quality professional attributes to ensure you are prepared to enter the work force with the skills required to provide safe patient care and professional behaviour. As such, this assessment in based on continuous and ongoing assessment of student application and attendance during labs, and extending to professional behaviour throughout the unit. This includes participation in forums and online tutorials, labs, social media etiquette, phone calls, attitude towards peers and staff, and all official correspondence with university staff, peers, and community.

This is a PASS/FAIL assessment. This assessment is scored using a demerit point system - to pass this unit, a student can receive a MAXIMUM of three demerit points i.e. if a fourth demerit point is issued, the assessment will be graded as a fail. As this is a pass/fail unit, that means a FAIL for MEDS13002.

All interactions with staff and peers pertaining to this unit will be treated as a replica of the clinical work environment. You will be expected to demonstrate all of the professional behaviour that will be expected of you in a formal work environment. Demerit points can be issued in three different categories:

1. Professional behaviour towards colleagues and staff,
2. Professional behaviour towards patients, and
3. Professional behaviour towards professional settings and equipment.

Expected behaviour and its relevance to the clinical environment is listed under the Professional Behaviour Assessment Outline on the unit Moodle site. You must review this information and be aware of what is expected of you for this unit. Please be aware that having your Formative Feedback Forms signed after your lab day by not bringing them to lab would have consequences in departments in a clinical setting and will warrant a demerit point. You will be required to fill out a Formative Feedback Form for each of your labs, but not for the dates of your practical skills tests as outlined in the lab manual. It is very important that you familiarise yourself with the CODE OF CONDUCT in the Lab Manual as well as the ASAR CODE OF CONDUCT and the CQU CODE OF CONDUCT. All of these documents are posted on the unit Moodle site for your information.

If unprofessional behaviour is reported by fellow classmates and not witnessed by a staff member, a written warning detailing the allegations will be issued to the student, and the student's response documented. If further evidence of an on-going unprofessional behaviour surfaces, then a demerit point may be issued.

Up to THREE demerit points can be issued before the assessment is graded as a FAIL. However, if any exhibited behaviour is deemed as UNSAFE for clinical practice, the professional behaviour assessment will be graded as a FAIL at the discretion of the unit coordinator.

Pass/fail assessment.

When a demerit point is issued, it will be discussed between the student and either the on-site lecturer or the unit coordinator. Written documentation explaining the reason for the issued demerit will be signed by the on-site lecturer or the unit coordinator, and sent to the student via email.

A maximum of THREE demerit points can be obtained to pass this unit - any more than three and the assessment is graded as a FAIL.
