This is the final unit in an advanced clinical exercise Work Integrated Learning (WIL) program that expands your real-world experience as a Student Exercise Physiologist and readies you to enter the workforce. You will have further exposure to the assessment, prescription, and delivery of exercise to clinical clientele via placement in the University of Tasmania Exercise Physiology Clinic, and/or in University-approved WIL partner agencies, where you will be guided in your clinical education by appropriately qualified University, and agency supervisors.

(1) to advance proficiency in communication and behaviour-change counselling techniques with clinical clientele;

(2) to advance clinical reasoning skills, problem-solving and clinical decision-making skills with clinical clientele.

(3) to advance practical screening, assessment and exercise prescription skills with clinical clientele.
