Learning Resources
Required Resources
N/ARecommended Resources
Some of the MSAs have information available on the MLTU website and this provides a guide for students to engage in learning in a clinical context.
For all MSAs, students are expected to discuss early on with their clinical supervisor what the overall aims of the rotation are and the pertinent areas to cover. Students are then expected to seek out resources that will allow them to meet these aims.
For some MSA, information may be available on CANVAS.Online Learning
The School of Medicine Teaching Series has a wealth of information on various specialities and subspecialties on MyUni. Students are encouraged to view this material. -
Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
The primary mode of teaching and learning in MSAs is in the clinical context. This includes ward rounds, consultant rounds, outpatient clinics and bedside tutorials with the student’s preceptor.
Learning is to be supplemented with the School of Medicine Teaching Series content available on MyUni, other online sources and textbooks.
Students are also advised to participate in academic teaching occurring at the hospital – journal clubs, unit meetings and grand rounds. Students should discuss which of these occur and which are suitable to attend.Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
Workload for the individual students will vary from week to week but students can assume that on average they will work a 45 hour week which will include clinic sessions, lectures (both delivered and online), seminars, tutorials and private study but does not include after hours call.Learning Activities Summary
The MSAs are delivered externally at various sites and coordinated independently. Students are expected to compile a summary of the learning activities at the beginning of the rotation through discussion with their clinical preceptor, for their own learning benefit.Specific Course Requirements
Some MSAs do have specific course requirements – such as National Police Certificates for rotations at the Women’s’ and Children’s’ Hospital. Students will be advised of these requirements via the MSA handbook which is released on the MLTU website. This is released in adequate time to allow students to meet these requirements.
If students do not organise these specific requirements prior to the commencement of the rotation, this may result in students not being able to undertake the MSA and therefore failing the rotation on attendance. -
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
Assessment for the MSA rotations may vary slightly depending on whether the attachment is clinical or non-clinical but is essentially based around the following:
Attendance/Participation in clinical unit activities, including professionalism 40%
Skills / ability 10%
Course work; at least one of the following: case write up, topic write up, oral case presentation, oral topic presentation: 30%
Theoretical knowledge, including one MCQ submission: 20%
Students should actively seek out information on rotation assessment at the beginning of their clinical attachment. Further information can be obtained from either the MSA coordinator or the administrative officer at the site.
To pass this course and the Fourth 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 4000AHO and MEDIC ST 4000BHO Fourth Year MBBS Exam 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.Assessment Related Requirements
The 最新糖心Vlog has developed a Scope of Practice document which outlines appropriate activities for Year 4 students. Students should be familiar with this document, and adhere to its guidelines. The document can be found in MyUni and .

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. This paricular course involves multiple supervisors and the SELT process is not available as a result. However, feedback can be providsed to student representatives who are appointed to MBBS committees and are encouraged to report on issues of importance to students on a regular basis.

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.
