Learning & Teaching Activities

Learning & Teaching Modes

The course will comprise both structured and self-directed learning. Hands-on small group tutorials will link to the specific case being undertaken by the students. Students will be required to develop an understanding of best evidence based practice in relation to examination, investigation and management of common medical presentations.

Workload

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

Students will be required to attend weekly 2 hour tutorials in the clinical skills laboratory. Students will also be expected to assimilate learning from the Medical Personal and Professional Development tutorials, Case-based Learning tutorials and the didactic lectures provided throughout the course, as well as and directed and self-directed study and translate this learning to the weekly tutorials and required assignments. 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 weekly 2 hour tutorials in the clinical skills laboratory. You will be given the learning objectives the week prior to the tutorial. This means that prior reading is compulsory. Each few weeks a different body system will be covered. Within the few weeks students will work through History Taking (HT), Physical Examination (PE), the relationship between HT and PE. Students will work with a tutor and Standardised Patients.

Specific Course Requirements

Students must meet the requirements set out in the letter of offer. As a medical student you will be registered with the 最新糖心Vlogn Health Practitioner Regulation Agency, and are advised to read the student information porvided at:

Small Group Discovery Experience

The predominant learning method for the MBBS Program is small group discovery learning.

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

Students are required to take both the Part A and the matching Part B course.

Requirements to achieve a NGP in MEDIC ST 2102A/B are as follows:

Assessment Task	Task Type	Timing	Weighting
1. Hand hygiene	Summative - Hurdle	Semester 1	0%
2. Vital Signs	Summative - Hurdle	Semester 1	0%
3. Clinical competency Formative 1-3	Formative*	Semester 1	0%
4. Clinical competency Summative 4	Summative*	Semester 1	3.5%
5. Clinical competency Summative 5	Summative*	Semester 1	4.0%

* It is a hurdle requirement that 6 clinical competencies must be signed off in BOTH semester 1 and semester 2. A maximum of one competency can be counted each week. A minimum of two competencies per semester must be allocated to history taking, and a minimum of one competency per semester be allocated to physical examinations. If a student fails a competency assessment, they will be eligible for one remediation opportunity per competency assessment - a student must contact the course coordinator to organise any remediation.

Students must also demonstrate competency in the vital sign hurdle AND hand hygiene hurdles in order to successfully pass this course. If a student fails the vital signs and/or hand hygiene hurdles, they will be eligible for remediation - a student must contact the course coordinator to organise any remediation.

There are no units associated with the Part A (Semester 1, Part 1). Assessment for MEDIC ST 2102A/B is combined. Students will be awarded a Continuing Grade for MEDIC ST 2102A. Students must complete both MEDIC ST 2102A/B to gain a pass mark.

Students are required to attain an overall composite score from all assessment tasks equal to or greater than 50% and pass all hurdle requirements to achieve an NGP.

An additional assessment will be offered to students who fail MEDIC ST 2102A/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 core assessment tasks within the failed course;
• The student has attended more than 80% of core teaching activities across the academic year, within the failed course.

Assessment Related Requirements

There are attendance requirements which must be met. Students should also note that there are also requirements for professional behaviour standards which are set out in MEDIC ST 2000A/B - Second Year MBBS Examination Part1/2 assessment criteria.

Assessment Detail

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.
Student Support
The MBBS Program website has details on Student well-being resources which can be accessed.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
