You will be required to complete an online test. This test will demonstrate your knowledge to interpret and correctly diagnose ECGs and will test your ability to apply knowledge of anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system and other material covered in the first five weeks. 

Date: Online test will open on the 15th of April at 0900 and will close at 0900 on the 22nd of April. 

• 60 minutes for online test
• Please ensure that you read each question carefully.
• There will be a combination of multiple choice and ECG interpretation questions.
• You will only be given one attempt for the test.
• Use of AI platforms, search engines, textbooks, etc. during the exam is considered cheating and will be managed accordingly. 
• When the due date expires, any open attempts are automatically submitted; you must therefore start the quiz before that deadline, or you will not receive your full time period.
• This is an individual assessment with no collaboration allowed.
• For this assessment task no late submissions will be accepted and the test will close and become unavailable after the due date and time.
• In the absence of an approved extension, there will be no opportunity to complete the test after this date.
  If you experience a technical issue you must notify the Unit Coordinators immediately.

You will be required to attend an assessment day at: your nominated residential school.

Your assessment tasks will consist of two simulation scenarios and an ECG exam. 

Simulation 1 will involve a 20 minute scenario of a commonly encountered pre-hospital cardiovascular emergency which will require you to assess and treat the patient according to your learnt practice. -25% 

Simulation 2 will involve a 15 minute scenario followed by a 5 minute voice viva specific to the scenario you will undertake. - 25% 

The ECG exam will be sat under exam conditions during the residential school and will heavily focus on 12 lead ECG interpretation of common pre-hospital ECGs.- 10%  

All assessment tasks align with the learning outcomes for this unit, as described in the Unit Profile.

The Case Management Exercises (CMEs) will take the format of clinical scenarios (whole or in-part) designed to assess your knowledge and understanding of any topic or material covered throughout the unit by means of structured, simulated patient interactions. Furthermore, the CMEs are designed to assess your ability to perform a thorough and accurate patient assessment and use this information to formulate a provisional diagnosis. In combination with your patient assessment and provisional diagnosis, you will be required to implement appropriate and timely clinical interventions, procedures and/or skills commensurate with your current scope of practice. Scene management and effective communication skills, including the ability to deliver a clinical handover to a senior clinician (i.e. CCP/ICP/MICA) or other health care professionals, will also be assessed.

The Viva Voce is a verbal or interview style assessment where you will be required to answer a series of questions to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of the material covered throughout the unit. 

You need to meet a minimum pass mark of 50% (30/60) to pass this assessment overall. 

• You must achieve a cumulative mark of greater than 50% across the assessment tasks to pass this assessment.
• Multiple scoring tools/rubrics will be utilised, based on the format of the assessment task. The scoring tools/rubrics for each assessment are validated and reliable.
• Assessments will be moderated by the Unit Coordinator and therefore finalisation of grades will not be made available at the completion of your all assessment day/s or residential school until moderation is completed

You will be required to complete an online test at the completion of the semester. This test will demonstrate your knowledge to interpret and correctly diagnose ECGs and will test your ability to apply knowledge of anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system, diagnose and treat patients with commonly encountered cardiovascular conditions and appropriately and demonstrate a solid understanding of the pharmacological agents use to treat cardiovascular emergencies.  

Date: Online test will open on the 3rd of June at 0900 and close on the 10th of June at 0900. 

• You have 60 minutes for the online test
