A stethoscope and University ID badge are essential equipment. You may find it useful to carry a pen torch, ophthalmoscope and tendon hammer to the wards. Other equipment such as neurological examination kits are usually available for loan from the precinct staff. Students may have already purchased a standard medical examination kit.

Australian Medicines Handbook is available online and is a required resource.
Clinical Examination Checklists are provided in the handbook and online on My Uni

Recommended resources will be advised as appropriate.

The clinical skills course includes lectures, bedside tutorials, oral case presentations, case write-ups and workshops. There is also an emphasis on self-directed learning in the clinical environment.

Clinical Learning
The core element of the clinical program is learning from patients seen on the wards. Students must see patients in pairs and should see at least one patient per week per pair.

It is expected one student takes the entire history and perform a physical examination on the patient while the other student observes.

Other elements of learning include, but are not limited to, opportunistic education by peers, allied health and senior staff on the wards, as well as round-robin style supplementary teaching and online modules. 

Case Write-Ups:
There will be 6 Case-Write-Ups (CWUs) per student per annum in total. The write-ups will be based upon a patient examined by the student during the Tuesday sessions.

4 CWUs (2 formative and 2 summative) will be due in Semester 1, and 2 CWU will (1 formative and one summative) will be due in Semester 2.

The examining student will  submit a case write-up by the end of the day. Students will be expected to enter their details and the patients’ details on the sign-off sheet for every case write up that they hand in to ensure patient confidentiality and to authenticate the patient. Students are encouraged to take notes even when acting as the observer, so as to provide feedback to their colleague (see "assessment" for submission and format details).

Oral Presentations:
Students will be rostered to small group tutorials in which they will present a patient they have seen on the wards. This will usually encompass discussion on various aspects of the case, including formulating a problem list with differential diagnoses and demonstrating clinical reasoning to support differential diagnoses. Some time may be spent discussing an appropriate management plan. Time will also be spent on discussing presentation skills such as communication skills/ format and chronology of presentation/ amount of relevant detail to include etc. The aim of the oral presentations is to introduce students to what will be expected of them on ward rounds in their clinical years. Semester 1 will focus on the core elements of presenting a case, building from experience from CBL-style case presentations and shifting towards a more ward-appropriate and ISBAR style case presentation. Semester 2 will introduce the concept of case presentations for clinical advice and phone consults. 

Bedside Tutorials:
Students will have a bedside tutorial most weeks, where they will meet as a small group with a clinical tutor (intern, resident, registrar or consultant) to see patients and develop techniques in physical examination and history taking.
Checklists for components of specific clinical examinations are included in the handbook all students receive at the beginning of their rotation (also available online in MyUni). There will be timetabled topics to be covered each week – see the list for your Hospital.

The Clinical Lecturer team will ensure that these resources are available to the tutors delivering the material, to allow for a standardised approach to teaching where practical. 

Lectures:
A combination of face-to-face masterclasses (workshop format) and online lectures will be delivered throughout the clinical practice course. To ensure standardised teaching across sites, there will be a focus on delivering the content live at a single site, with live streaming to neighbouring sites. 

The location of the live presentation will rotate to ensure equal distribution. The site clinical lecturers will facilitate the lecture stream and be available to provide the workshop components of the masterclass.

All content, where consented, will be recorded and available on Echo360 for students to revisit at their leisure. 

Pre-reading:
Pre-reading is required most weeks, particularly as preparation for bedside tutorials (see MyUni website)

Workshop activities:
All students will be rostered to attend a number of sessions outside of their main hospital site:

• Adelaide Health Simulation & Skills Centre simulation sessions- will include ECG lead placement, basic life support, injection technique and sharps safety, PPE donning/doffing, vital signs/RDR chart documentation, hand-hygeine and A-E primary survey scenario
• Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre – you will be exposed to the challenges of living with spinal injury.
• Sexual Health Workshop – sexual health history and intervention will be covered in this session
• Eye (ophthalmology) outpatient visits at Hospital sites
• Ear (ENT) outpatient visits at Hospital sites
• Vascular 'round robin' involving real patients
• Cancer voices discussion groups with patient tutors

The structure of the Year 3 Clinical Skills Program will be provided and discussed at the start of the program and is discussed in detail in the student handbook (provided to students on the first day of their rotation, and available on MyUni thereafter).

All students will be allocated to a hospital site (NALHN, TQEH, RAH). However, students will need to travel to other sites for some sessions.
All students must complete the requirements for clinical placement and maintain up to date documentation on SONIA.

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

All assessment items will be standard set for competency and the marks used to calculate the composite score adjusted according to standard setting. Students are required to attain an overall composite score from all assessment tasks equal to or greater than 50% to achieve an NGP An additional assessment will be offered to students who fail MEDIC ST 3102A/B with a composite score of 45-49%.

All additional assessments will take place during the Semester 2 replacement / additional examination period. The result of a passed additional assessment is 50%.

Students may be offered a resubmission on one occasion in the semester (or two occasions per year in year-long courses) if they communicate sufficient cause for a below standard summative assessment task. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the course coordinator if they wish to resubmit a summative assessment task. The offer of the resubmission is at the discretion of the course coordinator based on the communicated circumstances. The nature of the resubmission and the due date is determined by the course coordinator. The maximum score that can be obtained on a resubmission is 50%. Reasonable opportunities to remediate and educate will be provided in the setting of below standard hurdle assessment tasks.

Material covered during the Year 3 Clinical Practice course will also be tested during mid-year and end-of-year written examinations as well as end of year OSCE examinations.

Course	Unit Value	Grade
MEDIC ST 3102AHO - Clinical Practice III Part 1	3	CN
MEDIC ST 3102BHO - Clinical Practice III Part 2	3	NGP

In addition to the above, in order to pass this course and the Third Year MBBS Examination Annual Examination Part 2 course, students must obtain:

•    a satisfactory result in each of the components of the summative assessment in semesters 1 and 2; and
Academic Progression Requirements
Progression from one year to the next in the MBBS is dependent on the student successfully completing a compulsory annual examination course in which a full year’s learning is assessed.

To successfully complete the MEDIC ST 3000A and MEDIC ST 3000B Third Year MBBS Examination Part 1 and Part 2 courses, the student must pass the end of year examinations and have successfully completed all year level component courses (24 units).

IF a student fails the compulsory examination course 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.

A student will only be eligible for summer school if the following criteria are met:
• The student does not have a recorded breach of genuine academic misconduct;
• The student has completed all core assessment tasks within the failed course;
• The student has attended more than 80% of core teaching activities across the academic year, within the failed course.
