SURGERY 7015HO - Min Inv Surgery Clinical Practice II

Teaching Hospitals - Quadmester 3 - 2015

The course will provide comprehensive clinical training to a high level of competency in the practice of minimally invasive surgical techniques. Using knowledge gained in Clinical Practice I, students will gain increasing experience in the performance of minimally invasive surgical techniques. Students will learn to identify and treat problems, as well as improve their techniques by self evaluation of recorded material. They will create instructional DVDs describing operative techniques based on their work during the year.

  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes

    With increasing experience students will, under supervision, perform minimally invasive surgical cases. At the end of Term/Quadmester 3 students will have created an instructional DVD on a minimally invasive surgical procedure.

    As with Clinical Practice I, Clinical Practice II will be delivered via the approved clinical position that each student will hold in a surgical unit of a hospital. They will be working with a clinical mentor (a surgical consultant) who will be supervising their surgical experience. The assessment of this skill acquisition will also be based on the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons' (RACS) practical logbook assessment and performance. The logbook data will be recorded to allow assessment of the experience of the student in minimally invasive surgery. Total operative experience is also required to be recorded and a formal assessment of this experience is undertaken at the completion of each six-month period by the student’s mentor.

    All mentors supervising the students in their geographical locality are required to be Fellows of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) or Fellows of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (RANZCOG). Students of the Master of Minimally Invasive Surgery, in their locality, will receive ongoing specialty medical training which is attained under the auspices of these Colleges and is delivered by appropriately trained and accredited Fellows. All Fellows are required to participate in their own Continuing Professional Development programs and fulfil requirements in all aspects of surgical practice including supervision of other surgeons. They are required to submit a recording of their Continuing Professional Development on an annual basis, with additional random auditing taking place each year. So whilst some mentors will not have specific University oversight, by the nature of their position all Fellows are required to fulfil the Colleges’ standards and clinical governance which will thus be enforced within the 成人大片 and the individuals.

  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Summary
    Assessment Task Assessment Type Weighting Learning outcome(s) being addressed

  • Student Feedback

    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.

  • Fraud Awareness

    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.
