  • 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: lectures, bedside tutorials, case presentations, write-ups and other sessions in hospital. There will be  self-directed research and/or study.

    Year 6 students also take part in the Year 6 teaching program during their internship semester. This work-ready program aims to equip students for internship through a mixture of didactic sessions, online preparation and face-to-face workshops.

    CLINICAL LEARNING
    The core element of the emergency medicine internship program is based on providing students with a basic understanding of emergency medicine. Students are encouraged and expected to involve themselves in the department’s activities.

    Following orientation, students should begin evaluating patients on a semi-independent
    basis. During their term, they will be expected to see at least 8 of the 10 patient problems listed in the student handbook.

    Students will be expected to see patients and perform a full history, examination and formulate a management plan. It is an expectation they will perform all the necessary tasks (under supervision) required to manage the patient in ED. This includes completing all the necessary paperwork, procedures (where appropriate) and monitoring the patient’s progress whilst in ED (including handover of patient, if applicable)

    TUTORIALS

    Students will receive a copy of the Trainee Medical Officer Handbook. Tutorials are designed specifically for students. Times may vary between hospitals; studentsshould check with their supervisor for specific tutorial times. Students are expected to attend the tutorials whether or not they are scheduled to work that day.

     Tutorials involve a mixture of didactic, interactive and skills sessions. Topics that may be covered include but are not limited to: ED procedures, toxicology, airway workshop, ALS/BLS, Assessment of the deteriorating patient and trauma assessment.

    Student interns should work the same hours that interns are rostered on their Units including attending “Takes” and post take ward rounds

  • 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
    There is a summative assessment in multiple domains of the Student Internship which closely mirrors intern workplace-based assessments.

    Assessment Related Requirements
    Students must attend 90% of the core structured learning activities to achieve a pass in this course. Exemptions to mandatory 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
