Rural Placement
This course is part of a community based, longitudinal, integrated year of clerkship, clinical placement and training in rural hospitals and clinical settings. This comprised experiencing and learning about the community, emergency, inpatient and specialist paediatrics, that follows the core competencies of the Department of Paediatrics fifth-year medical program. Each student is based in an ARCS rural training centre for the two semesters of the full year. These will be clinical attachments, where the student will be part of the clinical unit providing patient care in general practice, and hospital inpatient and emergency care. This includes a two-week rural specialist paediatric intensive placement at Pt Augusta hospital. Students will be responsible to the unit Registrar and Consultant. Students will take part in all unit activities i.e. acute and elective admissions, outpatient sessions and other ambulatory care, operating theatre sessions, unit audit and teaching meetings, etc.

Throughout the semester, there are scheduled ePBL tutorials with a specialist paediatrician and facilitated small group tutorials with a community doctor with paediatric expertise. They will involve learning and practice of clinical skills in taking histories in Paediatrics, and undertaking physical examination of children at different ages. The tutorials will provide teaching around the core competencies in paediatric knowledge, skills, attitudes and attributes, expected of a fifth-year medical student. These sessions will also involve specific aspects of Paediatric Medicine, Paediatric Surgery, Child and Adolescent Mental Health, Paediatric Emergency Care, Resuscitation, Pathology, neonatology & practical skills.

Structured Learning Program
Whilst on placement, a formal paediatric learning program will be delivered. This course will take a ‘flipped classroom’ approach to learning. The WCH Paediatric Competencies inform this approach which consists of a high yield online interactive module or video lecture followed by a problem-based learning tutorial facilitated by a paediatrician.


Learning in Child and Adolescent Mental Health (iLAB)
Students will add to their knowledge of child and adolescent mental health by:
• Learning how to take a developmental and psychiatric history from children and their families
• Being able to assess mental health symptoms in children and adolescents, and generating a relevant management plan
• Gaining an understanding of the inter-relationship between the mental health of children and adolescents and other health problems, family problems and social circumstances
• Developing a working knowledge of other health and welfare agencies
• Gaining confidence in approaching clinical situations that contain an element of risk e.g. self-harm and suicidality
• Developing an approach to interviewing young people and their families with a focus on enhancing therapeutic alliance and obtaining accurate historical information.

Structure:
• Students will have an opportunity to practice interviewing and generating management plans for young people facing emotional challenges in a simulated clinical environment.
• Structured feedback and on-the-fly review of interview footage is undertaken after each session to enhance skill development for students.
• Seminars in child and adolescent mental health will cover common issues in developmental mental health and illness.

To pass this course and the Fifth 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 5000AHO and MEDIC ST 5000BHO Fifth 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 may be offered an appropriate remedial course of the same or greater value as specified in term 4 of the same academic year.

It is compulsory for students to attend clinical placements and their specific activities in line with the principles and guidelines outlined in the Medical Student Clinical Hours document.

Exemptions to mandatory clinical placement attendance requirements may be granted by the Education Lead in consultation with the relevant course coordinator and year level advisor if there are exceptional medical, compassionate or extenuating circumstances as defined by the Modified Arrangements for Coursework Assessment Policy.

Compulsory attendance at tutorials and all clinical sessions.

The 最新糖心Vlog has developed a Scope of Practice document which outlines appropriate activities for Year 5 students. Students should be familiar with this document, and adhere to its guidelines. The document can be found in MyUni and .
