  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    There are numerous teaching and learning methods used, with the emphasis on active learning methods including, but not limited to: case based learning, large group lectures, seminars, tutorials and clinics and other sessions in hospital. There will be self-directed research and/or study, case presentations, and critical analysis.


    Clinical Learning

    Obstetric Duties
    Attendance at antenatal clinics, conduct of normal labour and delivery and observation of abnormal cases gives insight into the spectrum of common conditions, most of which will be met at some time in practice.        

    Students’ personal cases and deliveries require detailed observation of antenatal, labour and postnatal care and infant care.  Adequate postnatal care includes observation of lactation, involution and the psychological development of the mother-child relationship.

    Labour Ward
    Students are rostered to the labour ward four times during their rotation. These are all day sessions and include weekend and after-hours work. They aim to provide students with the opportunity to conduct spontaneous vaginal deliveries with the help of the midwifery staff in charge.

    Gynaecological duties
    Students are rostered to attend gynaecological outpatient sessions where there will be the opportunity to take a history and examine outpatients with the Consultant/Registrar attending the Clinic. Students should clerk patients being admitted for elective gynaecological surgery, with the opportunity to attend theatre sessions when a patient they have clerked is having an operation. Students should also attend enough other theatre sessions to ensure a familiarity with the commonly performed gynaecological procedures. The postoperative progress of the patient(s) who have been clerked should be followed and the pathology reports should be examined before discharge

    Neonatal Medicine
    Students will have weekly neonatal tutorials and will also be rostered to follow the neonatal registrar for one morning.  It is expected that students will be able to demonstrate skills in the examination of the normal neonate and knowledge of common problems that occur in the neonatal period.

    Friday Afternoon Tutorials
    Members of the academic and visiting staff will run whole-of-class tutorials in weeks 3-8 in selected topics, between 2:00pm and 5:00pm in the seminar room in the Robinson Institute, 55 King William Rd North Adelaide. The tutorials will be interactive.


    e-Learning
    Students without their own devices may borrow an iPad for use during the 9 weeks of their attachment. iPads provided by the Discipline must be used to undertake on-line written assessments.

    On Line Lectures
    A series of on line lectures is available in the Canvas course. 

    The site includes optional multi-choice questions based on these topics.  There is no restriction on the number of attempts at the MCQ's, which are intended to stimulate students’ thinking about the topics.

    eMedici
    eMedici now includes case material and related formative assessment in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.


    Workload

    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. After hours and weekend work may also be required to meet clinical requirements.
    Learning Activities Summary
    The thematic structure of the Year 5 MBBS Program will be provided and discussed at the start of the program and is discussed in detail in the student handbook (provided to students on the first day of their rotation). Please note that the following applies only to the metropolitan students undertaking Human Reproductive Health. Students attached to the Discipline of Rural Health undergo separate orientation and clinical learning opportunities.

    Week Topic Lecture
    Week 1 Warm up week Introduction to the course including whole-of-class tutorials covering the basicsand including small group clinical skillssessions.
    Weeks  2 - 9 Students are allocated to specific hospital-based attachments and have individual learning timetables for the clinical component of the course. On line lectures are available in Intellilearnand additional on line resources areavailable in eMedici and MyUni, includingaccess to on line formative assessments.A separate lecture timetable for Friday afternoon tutorials held in the RobinsonInstitute seminar room will be announced.
    Week 9 Summative assessment week Assessment of knowledge, reasoning and clinical skills will be undertaken from mid week onwards in week 9.
    Specific Course Requirements
    All students will be allocated to Lyell McEwin Hospital or the Women’s and Children’s Hospital in the metropolitan area.   Although allocated to one hospital all students should expect to travel to other hospitals (Modbury, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Royal Adelaide Hospital) and places for specialty sessions.  

    All students require a current National Criminal History Record Check for children and vulnerable adults.  A Criminal History Check is valid for 3 years and students MUST have the original with them on the first day of term.

    All students will be required to do some after-hours and weekend work (see above). Any other requirements will be advised.
    Small Group Discovery Experience
    Students are assigned to small groups for the Contraception component of this course. A “Flipped Classroom” approach is used – requiring participation in an eLecture prior to small group participation. Under the supervision of an experienced clinician, students will individually demonstrate their knowledge of a randomly selected method of contraception. The small group will then address a complex clinical problem before reconvening at the end of the day to sit a formative quiz.

  • Assessment

    The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Summary

    Assessment Task Task Type Weighting Learning Outcome
    Single best answer written examination end of week 5 Formative and Summative 15% 1 and 2
    Clinical Portfolio end of week 8 Summative 30% 1
    Single best answer written examination week 9 Summative 25% 1
    OSCE examination week 9 Summative 30% 2
    Assessment Related Requirements
    “Clinical tasks requiring mastery” is a hurdle requirement, which must be completed satisfactorily in order to pass the course. Failure to complete all components will result in a Fail No Submission report to the MBBS Board of Examiners.


    Assessment Detail

    Course Grading

    Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:

    GS8 (Coursework Grade Scheme)
    Grade Description
    CN Continuing
    FNS Fail No Submission
    NFE No Formal Examination
    F Fail
    NGP Non Graded Pass
    P Pass
    C Credit

    RP Result Pending

    Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations.

    Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.

    In addition, students will receive a banded result upon completion of their attachment.

    Five bands are available to determine the assessment for the Human Reproductive Health rotation in fifth year of MBBS.  The Bands available for determining student performance are: 

    A  Above expected competency for Year 5
    B  Clearly at expected competency for Year 5
    C  Just reaches expected competency for Year 5
    D  Below expected competency for Year 5
    E  Far below expected competency for Year 5

    Calculation of Grades
    A candidate MUST pass the core competencies (mastery) by the end of the course or will fail with an E. Otherwise, the calculation of grades is as follows:

    Written and practical examinations are held at the end of the year to assess competence in the MBBS Program. Included in these exams will be some Obstetrics & Gynaecology questions.

    Final results for this course will be made available through .

    If a replacement or additional assessment is required, this will normally take the form of a clinical viva assessment, which may include an observed long case and oral assessment covering both the long case and a range of other topics.
  • 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.

    A student course evaluation is completed online by all students at the end of the rotation.  SELTS of individual teaching are done on a regular basis.
  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • 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.
