Course Summary
This course will build on your clinical learning gained in previous placement experiences and further develop your clinical, interpersonal and patient care skills. It will also develop your reflective practice empowering you to take ownership of your professional development through identifying learning opportunities and development needs. On completion of this course you will be able to perform a wide range of general radiographic examinations and procedures and deliver appropriate patient care with minimal supervision.
You will be introduced to the principles of medical ultrasound in the theory component of the course, to support you practising this modality in the clinical setting whilst on placement.
This course involves clinical placement and there may be associated travel requirements. This Work Integrated Learning (WIL) experience will develop your knowledge and skills in the clinical setting.
During this WIL experience, you will be required to attend clinical placement in a medical imaging department where you will have the opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge and skills for assessment in a clinical environment. Feedback from industry and/or the professional community will be integral to your experience and development. You will undertake this WIL clinical placement block at an allocated clinical department in accordance with AHPRA requirements.
You must meet several pre-clinical placement requirements during your studies in the Medical Radiations program and before attempting this WIL course, including a Working With Children Check, a Criminal Record Check, first aid, manual handling training, and other requirements. All arrangements for, and costs associated with, these requirements are your responsibility. Please visit the WIL Canvas site for further information If you have a long-term medical condition and/or disability you should contact the Program Coordinator or the Equitable Learning Services for further advice. Students need to be able to meet the inherent requirements of the program. At any time prior to or during your placement if there are concerns raised related to your fitness to practice the clinical coordinator can request that you gain full medical clearance to continue your placement.
