Handbook

This subject provides didactic material for students underpinning clinic rotations completed during the final phase of their degree. As such, it bridges other clinical rotation subjects, providing a foundation for reflection, the integration of theory and practice and the identification of generic information and skills relevant to diverse vocational settings. Information is provided in lectures and online. The online Interact environment is utilised to provide self-assessment activities to assist students in preparation for their final examination process, as well as to maintain communication with students as they complete their rotation subjects asynchronously and by a combination of intramural and extramural placements. The seven night afterhours rotation roster provides experience in ICU patient care, afterhours and clinical observations and is assessed as Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory. The final grade for this subject is determined by a final exam process combining written, oral and practical assessment tasks. This provides students with opportunities to demonstrate knowledge across the scope of veterinary species and vocational settings encountered during Phase 3, and to display proficiency in practical skills across a broad spectrum of clinical activities.
