During this period, the student must twice demonstrate an examination and/or provide treatment in practice and give grounds for the clinical choices made and reflect on their own professional practice.
During the practical training, the students must comply with the clothing regulations in force at all times at the relevant practical training establishment.
Course requirements
The following must have been approved for the student to take the exam:
- individual subject note in accordance with set criteria, up to 700 words (+/- 10%). The coursework will be subject to assessment.
- Two practical demonstrations: Carrying out an examination and/or treatment in practice, justifying clinical choices and reflecting on one's own professional practice, as well as discussing their choices with the practical training supervisor and the contact lecturer and possibly fellow students. The first demonstration is prior to the midway assessment. The second within the last two weeks of the practical training period. Both with a duration of up to two hours.
Assessment
