The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) will consist of a 30-minute oral and practical assessment based on two clinical case scenarios (15-minutes per simulated patient). You will discuss and perform aspects of assessment, treatment, clinical reasoning and overall management of the conditions presented.

Your assessment time will include up to 30-minutes of preparation time to read the instructions and plan the physical examination and treatment of both clinical case scenarios. You will then have 30-minutes with an examiner.

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 on the day of examination for a minimum of 1.5-hours.

To PASS the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) you must.

1. Achieve a PASS result of 50%; AND
2. Achieve a PASS result for the PASS/FAIL component of Safety and Risk Management.

If you DO NOT meet the above criteria, you may be offered a Supplementary Assessment in line with CQUniversity Policy.

Late Arrivals Policy: You should aim to arrive at least 15-minutes prior to the official assessment commencement time. In the extraordinary circumstance that you are late you will be permitted late entry to your assessment of up to 10 minutes after the official assessment commencement time.

Hurdle 1
A minimum attendance of 85% to tutorial/practical sessions is recommended by the Australian Physiotherapy Council. This has been integrated as a requirement in the CB85 Physiotherapy course, therefore a minimum of 85% attendance to tutorial/practical sessions is required for a PASS grade. The monitoring of attendance will take into consideration legitimate reasons for absences, as are outlined in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (5.21 & 5.22, Pg. 10-11). When there is a genuine reason for being absent, students must inform the Unit Coordinator as soon as possible. You will be warned by the Unit Coordinator when you reach the 85% threshold.

Please note: It is mandatory that medical certificates or other supporting documentation (e.g., funeral notices) are emailed to the unit coordinator within 5-days of missing a session. Students who fail to meet the minimum 85% attendance requirement or do not submit documentation within the required time frame will FAIL the unit.

Prolonged absences: Students who may require prolonged absences (>3 sessions) for a medical or health-related condition (e.g., serious, or debilitating illness or injury; hospitalisation; giving or recently given birth; mental health illness or condition), will require a face-to-face discussion with the Head of Course and the Unit Coordinator to discuss the most appropriate pathway for completion of the unit.

Hurdle 2
E-learning modules: You are required to complete e-learning modules relevant to Cardiorespiratory Physiotherapy, and the certificates gained at the completion of the modules are required to be submitted to Moodle by 4pm Friday, 30th September of Week 11.

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