What it covers
PTY4283 continues to develop the five themes upon which the four-year curriculum is based. This 24 credit point, year long unit includes 2 on-campus sections and contains the majority of the non-clinical assessment throughout the final year of the Physiotherapy program. It extends students' integrated knowledge and skills into specialised areas of physiotherapy practice and includes wide-ranging content such as: Research methods and evidence based practice; Indigenous Health; preparation for graduation and entry into the workforce; the role of the clinical educator; professional issues and a reflection on personal and professional development. Unique to PTY4283 is a Student Research Conference which will take place in the final week of Semester 2, Year 4 during which students will have the opportunity to present the outcome of their research project to their student peers and industry partners.
