Teaching
| Teaching Pattern | Small group and whole group teaching and learning activities, and two 8-week supervised clinical rotations (allocated from Medicine, Surgery, Primary Care & Clinical Specialties; the other two are undertaken during CAM305). |
|---|---|
| Assessment | There are three components to assessment in CAM304: Written Examinations, Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) and in-course requirements. Written examinations - The academic program in CAM304 is assessed by interim written assessments, and written and applied examinations at the end of semester. These examinations assess the lecture, practical and dissection material using multiple choice, extended-matching and short answer written questions. Subject matter from the clinical rotations is assessed in the CAM305 written examination. OSCEs - Students' clinical skills are assessed in an integrated 6-station OSCE session at the end of semester, covering material from both their rotations that semester; the same occurs in second semester. Students must pass a total of nine OSCEs across the two OSCE sessions to pass the OSCE component for the year. Students falling below expectations after the first OSCE session will be offered remedial opportunities in Semester 2. IN-Course Requirements - The third year requirements for the Kids and Families Program, several competencies required by the rotations, and other requirements details in the Unit Outline must be completed in order to pass third year. These requirements include minimum satisfactory standards for many of the required items. At the completion of CAM304 an IC (Interim Completion) grade is awarded because of the year-long nature of some assessments. The result for successfully completing both CAM304 and CAM305 is an ungraded pass (UP). |
