Teaching

Teaching Pattern	The unit is organised around weekly cases consisting of lectures/presentations, facilitated small group learning sessions, practicals and tutorials. This unit is web-dependent including on-line discussion and assessment. Students will attend clinical attachmentsand community organisations over the course of the semester. Students must be available full time Monday - Friday with some compulsory out of hours activities scheduled throughout the semester.
Assessment	Assessment includes Examinations, Assignments and Other Unit Requirements Examinations: Mid semester written examination and end of semester examinations including two written papers and an applied examination. These examinations assess the lecture, clinical, practical, tutorial and dissection-based material using multiple choice, extended-matching, short answer and case-based integrated questions. All examinations must be attempted. Assignments: It is a requirement to submit all assignments as per the CAM201 Unit Outline. Other Unit Requirements: Clinical examination and history skills are assessed during a series of clinical competency sessions over the year. Students must demonstrate competency in cardiovascular and respiratory examination and one history competency session in semester one. A pass mark is required in all clinical competencies performed in year 2 (CAM201 and CAM202). The requirements for the Kids and Families Program, Personal and Professional Development Portfolio (PPD), pharmacology log book interviews, case-based presentations and rural week attendance are listed in the unit outline. All 'Other Unit Requirements' must be completed to a minimum satisfactory standard. At the completion of CAM201 an IC (Interim Completion) grade is awarded because of the year long nature of some assessments. The mark and grade for Year 2 (CAM201 and CAM202 combined), derived from a weighted total of all examinations, essays and assignments, will be released at the end of semester two. In order to pass CAM201/202, a student must pass the weighted total of all examinations (mid semester and end of semester) across the year, pass the weighted total of essays and assignments across the year, and complete all other unit requirements satisfactorily.
