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 Unit Coordinator Reflection

Feedback

The orthopaedic assessment manual could be enhanced by the inclusion of more images as well as linked video demonstrations.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the podiatry orthopaedic assessment manual be updated to include more images and links to video resources to better prepare students for their OSCE and other related assessments.

Feedback from Unit Coordinator Reflection

Feedback

Additional class time dedicated to orthopaedic assessment of the lower limb may better prepare students for their OSCE.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the unit schedule is updated to include additional practicum hours, so that students have more time to practice their hands-on orthopaedic assessment skills and receive feedback.
