E-learning modules

Students are required to complete e-learning modules relevant to Cardiorespiratory Physiotherapy, certificates gained at the completion of the modules are required to be submitted to Moodle by 4 pm Friday, 1st October 2021 of Week 11.

Hurdle tasks are PASS/FAIL assessment items. Students must complete and pass each hurdle task.

The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) will be related to all content covered in this unit from Weeks 1-11 and consist of:

1. 30-minutes of preparation time to read the instructions and plan the physical assessment and treatment of two clinical case scenarios.
2. You will then have 30-minutes with an examiner (15-minutes per scenario) during which you will discuss and practically demonstrate assessment, treatment, clinical reasoning, evidence based practice and overall management of the condition/s presented.

You may be video recorded for moderation purposes.

Students should be prepared to model for other examinees after completing their own assessment and students from other year groups may also act as models during the assessment as required.

This requires attendance in the examination for a minimum of 60-minutes.

In order to PASS the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) you must:

1. Achieve a PASS result for the PASS/FAIL component of Risk Management/Safety for each of the two clinical scenarios (i.e. PASS for clinical scenario one and PASS for clinical scenario two); AND
2. Achieve 50% or higher in the graded component for each of the two clinical scenarios (i.e. a minimum of 50% for clinical scenario one and a minimum of 50% for clinical scenario two).

If you do not meet the above criteria for each clinical scenario, you will be eligible for one opportunity to re-sit the entire OSCE assessment task, provided you have:

1. Achieved an overall grade equal to, or higher than 44.5% for your OSCE; AND
2. achieved 49.5% or higher for each of the assessment items that have been completed and graded at the time of the OSCE.

OSCE re-sit conditions

1. If you meet the eligibility criteria for a re-sit, you will be given only one re-sit opportunity to pass the OSCE.
2. The re-sit will be assessed by up to two examiners and will be of an equivalent format to the original assessment task.
3. The re-sit will be conducted within the university vacation period between Term 2 and Term 3.
4. The assessment criteria of the re-sit will be identical to the original OSCE.
5. If you pass the re-sit you will receive a grade of exactly 50% for the OSCE (i.e. 25% of the Unit grade), irrespective of your achievement for the graded component. This is to ensure equity to those students who only had one attempt.

If you do not meet the requirements to be offered a re-sit, you will receive your original grade and may be offered a supplementary assessment in line with CQUniversity Policy.

If you do not PASS the re-sit, you will receive a grade equal to your resit OSCE grade and may be offered a supplementary assessment in line with CQUniversity Policy.
