Course Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of Year 3 of the MBBS program, students will be able to:

1. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:

• the normal structure and function of the body (at all levels from molecule to organism)

• the different ways disease may present in patients, the disease processes (pathology) and the functional changes associated with a disease or syndrome (pathophysiology)

• the content, structure and function of a complete patient history and the factors that influence the patient interview process

• analysing and interpreting the results of investigations used to explore the pathology of patient problems

• identifying potential treatment and management strategies (both pharmacological and non-pharmacological

• managing common conditions in hospital and general practice care, including diagnosis, prognosis, progress and follow-up

• the application of ethical, medico-legal and social responsibilities expected of medical students and doctors in challenging situations

• the causes of adverse medical events and errors, and the principles of prevention and management

• the economics of health care • the cultural influences in health care and the principles of cultural competence

• the principles, practices and processes of scientific enquiry, including the common scientific methods used to formulate relevant research questions and select applicable study designs

• the role of research to inform excellence in clinical reasoning and practice

2. Demonstrate competency, as expected at Year 3 level, in the following areas of clinical skills and reasoning:

• identifying linkages from theoretical teaching in clinical settings (e.g. safety netting)

• using a range of effective communication skills for taking a complete history from a variety of real and simulated patients, including exploring the patient’s presenting problems in detail, detecting common physical signs and maintaining respect for the patient’s cultural, religious and social background

• analysing a clinical case, including: identifying significant data, generating hypotheses to explain the causes of common symptoms, and explaining the mechanism underlying the physiology, pathology and pathophysiology of the case

• prioritising hypotheses through applying knowledge to the interpretation of data from history taking, physical examination and investigations

• conducting clinical examinations on real patients, appropriate to the history and with respect for patient comfort at all times

• performing core skills under supervision

• prescribing medications used for common conditions on the national inpatient medication chart (NIMC)

• presenting findings both written and orally (as appropriate for clinical attachments e.g. ward rounds)

3. Demonstrate the following professional attributes:

• commitment to high quality clinical standards, compassion, empathy and respect for all patients

• respecting the roles and expertise of other health care professionals and behaving ethically in interactions with patients, peers, and educators

• learning and working effectively and cooperatively as a member of an inter-professional team

• self-assessing learning needs and identifying areas of study

• contributing to small group learning and the professional development of other health care professionals

• managing social media in an ethical and professional manner

• an academic approach to researching and critiquing medical research literature and proposing relevant medical research as expected at Year 3 level

• thinking critically and analytically in relation to medical research and information

Assessment Detail

Academic Progression Requirements

As defined by the Academic Progress by Coursework Students Policy, the MBBS is a yearly program

Progression from one year to the next in the MBBS is dependent on the student successfully completing an annual examination in which a full year’s learning is assessed.

To progress into year 4 a student must pass MEDIC ST 3000A and 3000B - First Year MBBS Examination Part 1 and Part 2 courses, and have successfully completed all year level components (24 units).

To successfully complete the MEDIC ST 3000A and MEDIC ST 3000B Third Year Examination courses, the student must pass the combined end of semester and end of year examinations, all hurdle requirements and have successfully completed all year level component courses (24 units).

IF a student fails the compulsory examination no passing grade will be received for any core medical studies courses.

IF a student has not completed all required MEDIC ST units of the year they must successfully complete an appropriate remedial course of the same or greater value as specified in Term 4 of the same academic year.

The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

This section contains links to relevant assessment-related policies and guidelines - all university policies.

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
