Learning outcomes
Work and teaching methods comprise supervised clinical studies and student-active methods in the form of reflection notes and self-study in the simulation and skills centre. Training in driving emergency vehicles applies to students who have not taken this course earlier in the programme.
The course starts with one day of preparation followed by eight weeks of supervised clinical practice. The content of the placement periods will vary with the activities at the practice placement location and will therefore offer varied arenas for clinical exposure in terms of scenarios, diagnoses and complexity.
Teaching and learning methods
The following required coursework must be approved to pass clinical training:
- Two reflection notes of 1,500 words (+/- 10%)*
- Submitted and signed clinical training document.
* If the student takes driving training in PMEDPRA30, he/she only needs to submit one reflection note of 1,500 words (+/- 10%).
The student has up to two attempts to have the written coursework requirements approved. If a written assignment is not approved, the student must rework it and submit it again. If the first attempt fails, the student will receive individual feedback and advice on what needs to be improved in order for the course requirement to be approved. The clinical practice placement will be registered as failed if the second attempt at meeting a course requirement fails. This counts as one (1) attempt at passing the clinical practice placement.
Course requirements
Part 1) Assessment of clinical practice placement. The minimum attendance requirement for the placement period is 90%. For more information about the attendance requirement, see ‘Assessment of placement in the ambulance service’ in the main section of the programme description.
Part 2) Emergency vehicle driving test, theoretical and practical test in driving emergency vehicles organised by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration. The theoretical test must be taken before the practical test, cf. Section 2 of the Emergency Vehicle Regulations.
Students must pass both the clinical training (Part 1) and the emergency vehicle driving test (Part 2) in order to pass the course. If a student fails one part of the course, he/she must retake the part in question.
