Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
This course is taught using a variety of modalities to engage students in learning, including: lectures, practicals, workshops and online resources.
Lectures in general
MPPD related lectures are scheduled throughout the year. Lectures, seminars and set readings aim to give key background or conceptual information on a topic. These will often be scheduled at the beginning of a semester or topic. Lectures are not compulsory but missing them may mean that you miss out on important orientation and foundation information.
Although not compulsory the content of the lectures is examinable.
Medical Practice Tutorials
In MPPD2 Medical Practice tutorials you will further develop the skills you gained in MPPD1 to enable you to manage more complex doctor-patient interactions. These more challenging interactions will include breaking bad news; interviews with patients from different cultural backgrounds; patients who are distressed or angry; patients who have different views and opinions from your own.
The focus skills for this year will be ‘patient-centred interview’ skills; information giving skills and skills for the ‘explanation and planning’ phase and closing phases of the medical interview.
MPPD Online Learning: Effective Clinical Communication
You will use the online clinical communication program to develop your knowledge and
understanding of clinical communication skills and the tasks and phases of the medical interview. Further details in the relevant Canvas module.
Learning by doing
Learning is more effective with active strategies such as ‘practice doing’. To be a competent doctor you will need to learn and appropriately use a complex set of skills. You cannot learn these skills by simply reading a book or going to a lecture. You will need repeated practice , constructive feedback and then practice again. Many of the teaching and learning methods used in MPPD will require you to actively participate and actively practice skills. MPPD closely links to activities in case-based learning and in clinical skills.
Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
Attendance at tutorials is compulsory. While lectures are not compulsory, the material presented in a lecture will assist your ability to participate in tutorials and will provide examinable material. The development of time management skills is important for future medical practice. Students are expected to develop study skills and allocate time to self-directed learning. In Years 1-3, the standard total student workload for 24 units is 48 hours a week.Learning Activities Summary
Students will be required to attend small group tutorials, as well as lectures and workshops and undertake directed and self-directed study. Students are expected to translate this learning to weekly tutorials and required assignments. Students will also be expected to assimilate learning from the CBL and Clinical Skills tutorials and spend considerable time in practicing skills. Completion of an on-line tutorial program in communication is also required.Specific Course Requirements
It was an MBBS entry requirement to obtain a police check as set out in letter of offer to prospective students. You may be required to update these depending on the clinical activities or other activities in which you participate. As a medical student you will be registered with the Medical Board of 最新糖心Vlog. Any other requirements will be advised. -
Assessment
The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.
Assessment Summary
Complete assessment requirements for this course are detailed in the corresponding Canvas Course.
Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme: GS4 Non-graded pass.
Students are required to take both the Part A and the matching Part B course.Requirements to achieve a NGP in MEDIC ST 2103A/B are as follows:
Assessment Task Task Type Weighting Medical Practice reflection; Ethics Summative 25% Indigenous Cultural Workshops: Online quiz, Tutorials, Presentation Summative 15% Ethics Quizzes Summative 20% Medical Practice Reflection; Advanced communication skills Summative 25% Medical Practice Advanced communication skills online modules Summative 15%
There are no units associated with the Part A (Semester 1, Part 1). Assessment for MEDIC ST 2103A/B is combined. Students will be awarded a Continuing Grade for MEDIC ST 2103A. Students must complete both MEDIC ST 2103A/B to gain a pass mark.
All assessment items will be standard set for competency and the marks used to calculate the composite score adjusted according to standard setting. Students are required to attain an overall composite score from all assessment tasks equal to or greater than 50% to achieve an NGP. An additional assessment will be offered to students who fail MEDIC ST 2103A/B with a composite score of 45-49%.
In addition to the above, in order to pass this course and the Second Year MBBS Examination Annual Examination Part 2 course, students must obtain:
• a satisfactory result in each of the components of the summative assessment in semesters 1 and 2; and
• a satisfactory performance in the examinations overall
If an overall borderline grade is achieved in the examinations, a student may be offered an opportunity to sit a Replacement/Additional Assessment examination.
Academic Progression Requirements
Progression from one year to the next in the MBBS is dependent on the student successfully completing a compulsory annual examination course in which a full year’s learning is assessed.
To successfully complete the MEDIC ST 2000A and MEDIC ST 2000B Second Year MBBS Examination Part 1 and Part 2 courses, the student must pass the end of year examinations and have successfully completed all year level component courses (24 units).
IF a student fails the compulsory examination course no passing grade will be received for any core medical studies courses.
IF a student has not completed all required MEDIC ST units of the year they must successfully complete an appropriate remedial course of the same or greater value as specified in Term 4 of the same academic year.
A student will only be eligible for summer school if the following criteria are met:
• The student does not have a recorded breach of genuine academic misconduct;
• The student has completed all formative and summative assessment tasks within the failed course;
• The student has attended more than 80% of teaching activities for which attendance is recorded across the academic year, within the failed course.
Assessment Related Requirements
There are attendance requirements which must be met. Students must learn and appropriately use a complex set of skills to achieve the learning outcomes in the MBBS courses. These skills cannot be learnt without repeated practice, constructive feedback and then practice again. In addition, the professional competencies required of a medical professional need to be developed. Development of competency is through discussions, observing, practicing and demonstrating. Attendance at the mandatory learning activities is essential for the progressive development of the attributes and competencies required of a medical professional. As such, attendance at core structured learning activitiesis mandatory as per the Assessment for Coursework Policy – Procedures Section 1c.
Mandatory core structured learning activities for this course are:
- Ethics workshops and group presentations/SGDE
- Indigenous cultural workshops and presentations
- Medical Practice tutorials/SGDE
- Professionalism written assignment

Student Feedback
The 最新糖心Vlog 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 最新糖心Vlog 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.
The MBBS Program has a regular program of evaluation. In addition, student representatives are appointed to MBBS committees and are encouraged to report on issues of importance to students. -
