Course description

EXMD4701 is one of the capstone courses within the Clinical Exercise Physiology program. It provides students with the opportunity to integrate knowledge, skills, principles of evidence based practice, clinical reasoning, and ethical and professional behaviours, in alignment with the competencies required by Exercise and Sport Science Australia (ESSA).

As a part of this course, students will complete a minimum of 180 hours of practicum experience across affiliated hospitals (public and private), clinics and community settings. Throughout their practicum, students will provide services within ESSA¿s defined areas of clinical practice (core, emerging and niche) in order to facilitate their development of professional skills, reflective practice, knowledge & ability to function autonomously as an Exercise Physiologist.

Students undertaking clinical practicum may be allocated to placements outside the Brisbane metropolitan area, including regional and remote settings. Students allocated to these settings are expected to fund the associated costs independently. However, additional supports may available to students undertaking these placements, including assistance with accommodation and financial relief where available. Placement allocations will be managed as equitably as possible, with cases of financial or personal hardship considered at the discretion of the Placement Coordinator.

To undertake practicum, students must meet all mandatory requirements as outlined here: Prepare for your Clinical Exercise Physiology placement and provider specific requirements.
