MEDIC ST 6020AHO - Psychiatry Selective VI Part 1

Teaching Hospitals - Semester 1 - 2022

A Selective is a Specialist/Community or Ambulatory Placement. Each Selective is 4 weeks in duration. Students must do a Selective in Medicine, Primary Care, Psychiatry and Surgery. Students must take at least one rural-based Selective (with the exemption of International students who are not required to do a rural placement). Note 1: Students that have already fulfilled their 4 weeks rural total (Commonwealth requirement before graduation) may wish to apply for a rural Selective exemption. Selective selection is from a pre-determined list of available Selectives. Individual "once-off/self-created" Selectives may be negotiated (interstate/overseas) for student's Medicine, Surgery, Primary Care OR Psychiatry Selective. Only ONE self-created Selective may be created in Year 6. The self-created Selective must be approved by the relevant Discipline before it can be accepted. Note 2: Some students may be required to complete a directed elective in place of their Medicine or Surgery Selective, based on decisions made at the Year 5 Board of Examiners.

  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    Students will be allocated to a supervisor in each service and, under his/her direction, will participate in clinical work during the four week period.  This may include assessment of acute admissions as well as any emergency situations that may arise. 

    Teaching and learning methods may vary depending upon which setting students are allocated to.

    Tutorials will also be provided to students.

    Emergency Psychiatry
    Emergency psychiatry forms a part of the rotation and experience. Students are required to accompany the on-call registrar for either 1 evening (5pm - 10 pm) and 1 weekend day (9am - 2 pm),  OR 2 weekend days (9am - 2pm),  OR 2 evenings nights (5pm - 10 pm).

    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 may include clinic sessions, community visits, ward rounds,
    ward work, tutorials, and private study and may involve after hours and weekend work.

    Learning Activities Summary
    The structure of the program is set out in the student handbook.

    Specific Course Requirements
    Students will be allocated to a variety of psychiatry settings including but not limited to community psychiatry, acute
    psychiatry services, emergency psychiatry services, psychiatry for the elderly, postnatal psychiatry, child and adolescent psychiatry and rural psychiatry.

    There is also the opportunity for students to create their own rural Psychiatry Selective. 

    All students will be required to do some after-hours work (see above). 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 will comprise the following:

    Assessment Task Task Type Weighting Course Learning Outcome
    10 min Presentation  Summative 10%
    Case Presentations x 4 Summative 10%
    Supervisor Report/Selective assessment form (clinical placement assessment) Summative/ hurdle 65%
    3 NPS MedicineWise modules Summative/ hurdle 0%
    16 Multiple Choice Questions associated with tutorials Summative 15%
    Powerpoint Presentation and Student Seminar Presentation
    All students are required to prepare a 10 minute powerpoint presentation on a mental health topic of their choice. There will be a seminar at the end of each rotation where all students will present their work. The presentation must be relevant to mental health, but the format and content is up to the student. They may present a case with a discussion of some interesting aspect of the case, talk about something that has been in the media, present an article or some published research, describe the information available on the internet about a particular topic, or (briefly) review atopic. They may present relevant material from psychology, sociology and related disciplines if they wish. Marking criteria for assessment is available in the student handbook.

    Case Presentations
    Students are required to present four cases to their supervisor or their nominated delegate (e.g.
    registrar). The  marking sheet is available in the student handbook. 

    Supervisor Report (Selective Assessment Form)
    This form will be completed with your supervisor and represent a hurdle in successfully passing the selective.

    NPS MedicineWise modules
    The NPC modules are interactive case-based modules that are intended to encourage and increase confidence in rational prescribing. These modules represent a hurdle to successfully passing the selective.

    The 3 learning modules include the following:

    • Acute mania in bipolar disorder
    • Depression in adolescents
    • Insomnia
    Multiple Choice Questions 
    The 2 online quizzes are intended to help integrate knowledge from both 5 face to face and 3 online presentations. For each presentation 2 MCQs worth 1 point each will be assigned. This means for a total of 8 presentations there will be 16 points worth of MCQs.

    Academic Progression Requirements
    To pass this course and the Final (Sixth Year) MBBS Assessment Part 1 and Part 2 courses, students must obtain

    • a satisfactory result in the components of the summative assessment in semesters 1 and 2
    • complete the 3 NPC MedicineWise modules
    If a student fails one course or placement, they must undertake a remedial course or placement and must obtain a pass.

    If a student fails two courses or placements, they will fail the year and must repeat the entire year.

    Assessment Related Requirements
    Final assessment is based on the Year 6 Selectve Assessment.

    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.

    In addition, the 最新糖心Vlog has developed a Scope of Practice document which outlines appropriate activites for Year 6 students. Students should be familiar with this document, and adhere to its guidelines. The document can be found in MyUni and .

    Assessment Detail
    Further details are available in the Year 6 Assessment Document - Part A and B
    Submission
    Details of the case presentation, powerpoint presentation and seminar submissions will be made available at the beginning of the clinical attachment.

  • 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.
