Assignments; placement; tutorial participation

This topic facilitates individual study of a practice area. It is aimed at students of the Remote Health Practice program where the established practice topics are not suitable. A learning contract with aims and objectives are developed in negotiation with the topic coordinator. It involves completion of agreed assessments of clinical/professional skills, knowledge and attitudes. The emphasis is placed on application and practice.

The topic provides remote health professionals with an opportunity to undertake a learning contract focussed on developing skills and knowledge that will make a unique contribution to the health outcomes of remote and Indigenous people.

On completion of this topic, students will be able to:

Demonstrate skills in accessing and utilizing evidence based knowledge and practice guidelines in clinical, public health and social sciences
Consider history, colonization, access and health need in the planning and provision of health care to isolated, marginalized and Indigenous people
Apply knowledge to confidently and competently carry out a range of procedures, treatment and interventions within a collaborative model of Primary Health Care applicable to the remote and Indigenous health context
Utilize available technology to overcome barriers of distance and accurately communicate assessment and management information both verbally and in written form
Exhibit resourceful, respectful and reflective practice.
