  • Learning Resources
    Required Resources
    There are no required resources. Recommended resources will be advised as appropriate.
    Recommended Resources
    Recommended resources are regularly updated to reflect changes in knowledge and practice. There is a substantial component of online material. We do not recommend text books for purchase. However, a small range of online and hard texts are identified for those interested in pursuing such options. Full details are provided in the Academic Resources section of the My Uni course accessible to enrolled students approximately one week prior to commencemet of studies.
    Online Learning
    Please refer to My Uni.
  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    We emphasise active learning methods including: case based learning, large group lectures, seminars, tutorials and clinics and other sessions in our teaching hospitals. Self-directed research and/or study, case presentations, and critical analysis are encouraged.


    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. 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 on multiple occasions during their rotation. These are all day sessions and include weekend and after-hours work. They aim to provide students with the opportunity to observe the process of labour and delivery, to participate in the routine intrapartum observations of the mother and fetus, and to conduct spontaneous vaginal deliveries including management of the third stage under the direct supervision of the staff in charge. Sound obstetrics practice requires a multi-disciplinary team approach. This includes an important component of interprofessional learning, including direct supervision in labour ward by midwives of medical students.

    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 will attend operating theatre sessions and participate in the immediate preoperative round before attendance in the operating room. Students should 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 regular neonatal tutorials and will also be rostered to follow neonatology staff for a session. Students should 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 affiliate staff will run whole-of-class tutorials in selected topics, between 2:00pm and 5:00pm on many Fridays during your rotation.


    e-Learning
    Students are strongly encouraged to familiarise themselves thoroughly with all of the sections in the My Uni course and to access the eLearning modules.


    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 My Uni.

    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 other places for specialty sessions.

    All students undertaking studies in clinical environments in adult and paediatric medicine must have in-date certification including a criminal history check and cetification for work with vulnerable persons both adult and child. Full details are provided by the Clinical Placements office.

    All students will be required to do some after-hours and weekend work. 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:

    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
    Clinical Core Competencies Log Summative 20%
    Clinical Care Assignment Summative 30%
    Case presentations Summative 20%
    Online module exams Summative 10%
    Assessment of knowledge, performance and professionalism in simulation sessions Summative 20%

    Formative Assessment
    A wide range of formative assessment oportunities is provided, including in one-to-one teaching in clinical environments, teaching of examination of the female genital tract, and in the online resources in My Uni.


    Full details of the formatibve and summative assessment tasks are available in the Assessment section of the My Uni course.

    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 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
    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 Program Coordinator 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.

    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 .

  • 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.
