What it covers
PTY4172 continues to develop the five themes upon which the four year curriculum is based. These are: • Theme 1: Personal and Professional Development; • Theme 2: Population, Society and Health; • Theme 3: Fundamental Knowledge of Health Science; • Theme 4: Applied Practice; and • Theme 5: Research. Delivery of physiotherapy services and ongoing case based learning provide opportunities for integration of the different themes within the course. Students undertake a clinical attachment (5 weeks) during this unit, providing them the opportunity to apply integrated knowledge and skills from previous learning in the Bachelor of Physiotherapy to acute, subacute or community patient care.
