Developing as Allied Health Collaborators CXA746
Professional Experience Placement (PEP)
Students will be allocated PEP within individual health care agencies. Students must be available 5 days a week (40 hours) during the allocated PEP, and must be prepared to undertake a range of shifts – morning, evening and nightshift, which may include weekends, as per roster provided by the healthcare agency. Students may be expected to relocate and are expected to travel to where PEP is available. To be eligible to undertake PEP, all students must be ‘Verified’ as meeting College of Health and Medicine PEP Safety in Practice Compliance as per the Course Entry Requirements. Students who cannot or do not comply with these requirements will not be allocated PEP and therefore will not be able to complete this unit. PEP dates MAY differ from University of Tasmania calendar semester dates.
Introduction
This unit is the second of three interprofessional units in the program, and builds on knowledge and skills related to client-centred care, client safety and quality, and interprofessional collaborative practice. You will develop the necessary knowledge, skills, and professional attributes to communicate and collaborate effectively in complex and/or challenging situations or in response to diversity. Principles of ethical, evidence-based, and reflective practice, as well as other shared practice frameworks, are applied to professional practice across the lifespan. Principles of coaching, behaviour change, self-management, and education are introduced and applied in response to case scenarios. Contemporary funding sources and service delivery models are explored, analysing the impacts of current government policies on allied health professional practice.
