Note:

Students are required to enrol in CAM433 and CAM434 at the beginning of the year (CAM433 in Semester 1 and CAM434 in Semester 2).

In order to commence workplace learning outside of the University of Tasmania (including clinical placements and visits) students are required to demonstrate compliance with the Faculty of Health and School of Medicine policies relevant to workplace based learning. These include the Police Check Policy and Procedures, Infectious Disease Policy, Code of Conduct and Student Placement Agreement. Students who do not comply with these policies will not be placed or will be removed from placements and therefore will not be able to complete this unit. Students who have not complied or are unsure of the policies should seek guidance from the School.

Introduction

This unit is integrated with the program in the following year of the course. Students will be placed in a range of clinical attachments.

On completion of either CAM431 (LCS students), CAM433 (RCS students) or CAM435 (HCS students) students receive an IC (Interim Completion) result. The final result for this unit is granted on completion of either CAM432 (LCS students), CAM434 (RCS students) or CAM436 (HCS students).

Assessment

Formative Assessment:

The formative components of the portfolio of learning may vary across clinical schools. There are essential components of the portfolio which are common to all schools and become part of the summative exit assessment. There would normally be a review of portfolios conducted at Clinical School level to monitor progress. Each clinical school may provide formative assessment opportunities (OSCE and MCQ/EMQ)relative to clinical knowledge developed in rotations.

Summative Assessment:

All three clinical schools share summative assessments. This will consist of two written (MCQ and EMQ) examinations, clinical (OSCE) components, and portfolio assessment (see handbook for detailed criteria).

The essential components of the portfolio are:
1. a log of skills, in which procedures seen and/or performed during the hospital and community placements are recorded;

2. two Reflective Journal Pieces, written in a prescribed format of at least 1000 words in length, that assess the Domain of Health and Society and the Domain of Professionalism and Leadership;

3. an assessment for each clinical attachment signed off by the supervising senior medical clinician (Consultant or General Practitioner) based on performance during the attachment including performance in written and clinical assessment tasks set by the discipline concerned during the attachment;

4. complete a minimum of 10 satisfactory Mini-CEX reviews per year with representation from each major rotation;

5. evidence of participation in CBL sessions;

6. an introduction regarding the student's professional attributes, capabilities, aspirations, community engagement and achievements.

To PASS the year overall requires:

  • achieving the desired competency on the written MCQ and EMQ examinations;
  • achieving the desired competency in the OSCE stations examined and
  • obtaining a satisfactory achievement in all elements of the portfolio submission.

The result awarded for this Unit is an Ungraded Pass (UP).

In Year 4, all elements of the portfolio must be submitted prior to the end of year MCQ and EMQ papers and OSCE summative assessment, or the candidate will be deemed to have failed the course.
