PHYSIOTH 3005 - Managing Complexity in Clinical Settings

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2024

Using various healthcare settings and scenarios (including the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, critical care, rehabilitation, the first contact practitioner and the compensable patient), this course will explore issues of complexity associated with persons with healthcare needs, caseloads, teams, services and/or wider organisations. Students will extend their knowledge and skills related to the role of the physiotherapist as an independent practitioner and member of the wider healthcare team. You will have ongoing opportunities to apply the clinical reasoning model that draws on the World Health Organisation (WHO) International Classification of Functioning framework, a biopsychosocial approach to health care and evidence-based practice. Self-learning guides and online resources will complement workshops, practical classes and tutorials that are scheduled in block mode.

  • 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.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • 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.
