Work and teaching methods consist of clinical training, simulation and skills training, preparatory teaching for clinical training, seminars, work on the clinical training document, writing of reflection notes, and participation in reflection groups.

The course is taught over approx. 14 weeks and comprises clinical studies in different parts of the primary and specialist health services. Relevant practice placement arenas may include municipal healthcare services, somatic and psychiatric hospital departments, specialised hospital departments, substance abuse care, mobile teams, and private providers.

The content of the placement periods will vary with the activities at the practice placement locations and will therefore offer varied arenas for clinical exposure in terms of scenarios and complexity. Parts of the clinical training can be replaced by simulation and skills training at OsloMet if this provides a better opportunity to ensure that learning outcomes are achieved.

To document activity and achievement of the learning outcomes, the students must fill in a dedicated clinical training document. The document is a tool to promote learning activities and to document attendance and achievement of different learning outcomes.

In addition to clinical activities, the students work on an individual reflection note. One written piece of feedback will be provided on the note, provided that the student submits it within the stipulated deadline.

The following required coursework must be approved before a student can take the exam:

• Submission of completed and signed clinical training documents
• Minimum attendance of 90% in clinical training, reflection groups, preparatory teaching for clinical training, simulation and skills training, and seminars
• An individual reflection note of 1,500 words (+/- 10%)

Practical-oral examination in groups of three to four students, based on an assigned topic, approximately 30 minutes.

The examination is conducted as a seminar in which all students are expected to participate.

Examination groups are given an assigned topic involving a clinical skill at least two weeks before the examination. Based on this topic, the groups are required to deliver 20 minutes of theoretical instruction and practical presentation of the skill. Other students in the cohort and examiners will be the recipients of the teaching session. After the instruction, there is a period of up to 10 minutes for oral questions from the examiners. The examination group is normally assigned a collective grade. In special circumstances, individual grades may be assigned.

All aids are permitted. The rules for source referencing must be followed.
