General Information

Overview

This final work integrated learning unit builds on the knowledge, skills and professional behaviour developed during the course. Theoretical and technical knowledge will be applied to a professional work environment in a specialised field of diagnostic Medical Laboratory Science. You will perform technical skills and analyse the outcomes to meet the competency and skill required of an entry-level Medical Laboratory Scientist. You will perform, and reflect on, safe operations and quality management in the medical laboratory, with due regard for legislation, regulation and accreditation. Behavioural aspects of professional practice are emphasised and you are expected to reflect on your own communication, decision-making and team-work skills. Critical appraisal of performance will enable you to attain competency in your professional, technical and analytical skills.

Attendance Requirements

All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Website

This unit has a website, within the Moodle system, which is available two weeks before the start of term. It is important that you visit your Moodle site throughout the term. Please visit Moodle for more information.

Previous Student Feedback

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from Student feedback, Self Reflection

Feedback

Students who are currently working as HP3 or equivalent are delighted at the prospect of having placement hours offset (provided a letter of acknowledgement is provided by their provider).

Recommendation

Continue to notify students of this possibility. Ensure it is clear that this only counts for students who are employed as a scientist (not a laboratory technician or assistant), and advise that all competencies must still be met.

Feedback from Self Reflection

Feedback

Continue to provide guidance on how the 'Draft Journal Article' can be submitted to the Australian Journal for Medical Scientists

Recommendation

Continue the conversation with other CL10 marking staff to maximise the opportunities for the students.
