In this 12-credit point unit students will demonstrate high level skill and competence in a range of external clinical settings, including patient assessment, diagnostic decision-making, management and prevention of complex clinical cases such high risk foot and wound care, child development therapy, sports medicine, rheumatology and musculoskeletal disorders, indigenous health, rural and remote, and minor surgical procedures. Students will be exposed to a variety of patients of differing ages, cultural/ethnic, socio-economic, health profiles, and levels of physical and mental health impairment. In addition, this is the final unit in the formal requirements for completion of the research and/or evaluation project component of the Honours degree. Students will complete and submit their research report for evaluation. Students will be encouraged to consider both the strengths and limitations of their research and will have opportunity to present their findings to their peers at an end-of-term student led professional conference.
