History taking and physical examination
During the first 5 weeks of the Paediatrics and Child Health attachment, there will be small group (3 to 5 student) clinical tutorials on history taking and examination in children from 0-18 years. These tutorials are conducted by consultant clinicians at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital and Lyell McEwin Hospital. They will involve learning and practice of clinical skills in taking histories in Paediatrics, and undertaking physical examination of children at different ages.

The Clinical Skills Tutorials will provide information regarding the unique features of the Paediatric History:

Differences in the Paediatric History
•    History often from third party
•    Same problem may have different presentation at different ages
•    Additional parameters:
•    Pregnancy, Birth and Neonatal history
•    Developmental status and history
•    Playgroup/Kindergarten/School history
•    History of growth and nutrition
•    Immunisation History
•    Impact of illness on family unit
•    Relevant social history
•    Detailed family history including siblings

And ensure that students have strong abilities in:

Differences in the Paediatric Examination
•    Assessment of growth
•    Plotting percentiles on relevant charts
•    Assessment of development
•    Understanding of assessment techniques at different stages e.g. neonate, toddler, school aged child, adolescent
•    The need for observational skills in examination
•    The need for patience and opportunism
•    Ability to measure blood pressure, perform ENT and eye examination at different ages 

Internships
Each student will undertake 3 internships which will each be of 3 weeks duration. These will be clinical attachments, where the student will be part of the clinical unit providing patient care.  Each of the internships will be with a different clinical unit/s. For some internships students will be attached to clinical units in pairs.  Attachments will be at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital and Lyell McEwin Health Services.  Students will be responsible to the unit Registrar and Consultant. Students will take part in all unit activities i.e. acute and elective admissions, outpatient sessions and other ambulatory care, operating theatre sessions, unit audit and teaching meetings, etc.

Learning in Child and Adolescent Mental Health
Students will add to their knowledge of child and adolescent mental health by:
•    Learning how to take a developmental and psychiatric history from children and their families
•    Being able to assess mental health symptoms in children and adolescents, and generating a relevant management plan
•    Gaining an understanding of the inter-relationship between the mental health of children and adolescents and other health problems, family problems and social circumstancesDeveloping a working knowledge of other health and welfare agencies
•    Gaining confidence in approaching clinical situations that contain an element of risk e.g. self-harm and suicidality
•    Developing an approach to interviewing young people and their families with a focus on enhancing therapeutic alliance and obtaining accurate historical information.

Structure:
•    Students will have an opportunity to practice interviewing and generating management plans for young people facing emotional challenges in a simulated clinical environment. This interactive component of the course will take place twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays in iLab (Norwich Building). Structured feedback and on-the-fly review of interview footage is undertaken after each session to enhance skill development for students.
•    Seminars in child and adolescent mental health will cover common issues in developmental mental health and illness.
•    Students join clinicians for outpatient appointments in the Department of Psychological Medicine, and observe live video streams of clinical reviews with an associated tutorial.

The Department of Psychological Medicine is a Consultation-Liaison psychiatry service for the WCH.

Seminars, Tutorials, Pathology Session, Plastering Sessions & ICU Sessions
Over the student’s 9 week attachment seminars, tutorials, and group learning exercises will be provided. These will be held at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital.  These sessions will involve specific aspects of Paediatric Medicine, Paediatric Surgery, Child and Adolescent Mental Health, Paediatric Emergency Care, Pathology, ICU & practical skills.  

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

Workload for the individual students will vary from week to week but students can assume that on average they will work a 45 hour week which will include clinic sessions, lectures (both delivered and online), seminars, tutorials and private study.

Students are also expected to participate in at least three on-call evenings throughout their attachment.

Bedside Teaching Tutorials
During the first 5 weeks of the Paediatrics and Child Health attachment, there will be small group (3 to 5 student) clinical tutorials on history taking and examination in children from 0-18 years. These tutorials are conducted by consultant clinicians at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital and Lyell McEwin Hospital. They will involve learning and practice of clinical skills in taking histories in Paediatrics, and undertaking physical examination of children at different ages.

Extra small group teaching sessions
Each student will also attend one Plastering Teaching Session, one Pathology teaching session and one ICU teaching session throughout the 9 weeks, students will be split into small groups for these sessions.

Police Check
All students are required to submit a Department for Communities and Social Inclusion (DCSI) Criminal History Check to the Clinical Studies Officer on the first day of their attachment.  This will need to be the original and not a copy.

Identification badges
Women’s and Children’s Hospital identification badges will be issued to each student on the first day of their attachment.  Students will need to pay a $20 deposit to receive their ID.  The deposit will be given back to the student on return of their ID badge at the end of their attachment.  These are to be worn by students at all times within the hospital. This is a security requirement and access to hospital facilities may be refused if identification badges are not available. All badges are to be returned to the Clinical Studies Officer of the Department of Paediatrics before the commencement of the end of term examination.

Dress
Students are requested to dress neatly at all times. Parents, who are often under considerable stress because of the illness of their children, have certain expectations of professionals. As many children are often frightened by white coats, staff do not wear them. Therefore, students are not expected to wear white coats.

Out of Hours Work
All students will be required to do out of hours on-call work at some time throughout their attachment.

The predominant learning method for the MBBS Program is small group discovery learning.

Assessment Task	Assessment Type	Weighting	Learning Outcome(s) being addressed
Three Internship Supervisor Final Assessments	Summative	N/A (submitted/not submitted)	1-7
Observed Clinical Assessment	Summative	10 marks	1-3
Medical OSCE	Summative	75 marks	1-7
Surgical OSCE	Summative	45 marks	4
Mental Health Attachment- iLab component	Summative	40 marks	5
Log Book	Compulsory Formative	N/A (submitted/not submitted)

Internship Supervisor Final Assessments and Log Books need to be submitted by their due dates in order for a student to be able to sit the OSCE’s in Week 9. Students need to receive a satisfactory grade on all 3 of their Internship Supervisor Final Assessments and have all 12 signatures completed on their Log Book.

Attendance at ICU, Plastering and Pathology Teaching Sessions is compulsory.

Log Book
The Log Book is provided on the first day of the student’s attachment. It is for documentation of the minimum number of unit and ambulatory service responsibilities during the internships. The entire front page of the log book is to be completed and signed by the appropriate supervisors, the back page is beneficial and completion of the majority of these exercises should be attempted.

Internship Supervisor Final Assessments
The ‘Summative Clinical Assessment” forms for each internship are provided on the first day of the student’s attachment.   Guides to performance (Clinical Knowledge and Clinical Skills) are also  provided. Forms should be given to the internship supervisor (Unit Consultant or Registrar) at the end of the internship, and the supervisor will complete these with the student, using the guide provided. Forms will be signed by the supervisor and the student, and will be submitted by the student to the Clinical Studies Officer by the last day of each internship.  If a student receives a Borderline/ Unsatisfactory assessment from a supervisor, they should discuss remediation with their Clinical Tutorial Group tutor/ mentor at the earliest opportunity.

Observed Clinical Assessment (OCA)
This assessment is undertaken with a member of the Department of Paediatrics. Each Clinical Skills Tutorial group will be allocated to one of the members of the Department of Paediatrics for assessment. Each student will be observed performing a 10-minute clinical short case. These cases could be, for example, examination of the chest of a child with asthma, or examination of the abdomen of a child with an enlarged liver. It is expected that students will demonstrate competence in their examination technique and be able to detect important signs such as wheeze or hepatomegaly.  Assessments will encompass the domains of Clinical Examination technique, and identification and interpretation of clinical signs. Feedback regarding performance in this assessment will be provided in the final clinical skills tutorial.

OSCE (Medical & Surgical)
The Medical OSCE consists of 5 stations each 5 minutes in duration testing core competencies in Paediatric Medicine.  There may be a combination of 4 active stations (with examiners) and 1 static station (written responses to questions).The Surgical OSCE consists of 3 stations each 7 minutes in duration on Paediatric surgical topics.  There may be a combination of 2 active stations (with examiners) and 1 static station (written responses to questions).

All assessment components must be submitted to the Clinical Studies Officer by the due date.

SELT forms will be given to each student on the last day of their attachment.  Students may also be asked to fill in SELT forms on a particular tutor or lecturer.  

An iLab evaluation form will be given to all students on the last day of their attachment.  

Students are encouraged to meet with the Clinical Studies Officer if they have any problems or queries while on their Paediatrics attachment.

Information regarding University and Hospital OH&S policies and Incident Reporting is given to each student on their Introductory Day.
