Course description
Students will develop an ability to integrate the knowledge, physical skills, principles of evidence-based practice and clinical reasoning, ethical and professional behaviours that are necessary to function competently as a physiotherapist. Students will undergo professional practice experiences using real-world and standardised patients and a range of learning tasks; such as: evidence based practice and clinical reasoning in complex cases and chronic disease management, defining the role of physiotherapists and other health care practitioners in the multiprofessional health-care team, as well as other physiotherapy practice-related activities. Professional skills and reflective practice will be facilitated in order to prepare the student for challenges in health care service and delivery. Emphasis will be placed on developing student's knowledge and skills to function autonomously as primary contact health care practitioners in a range of contexts (e.g. hospital, community, ambulatory, and primary health care settings).
