impact this has on practice and multidisciplinary care
• Encourage students to commence development of their own identity as
a potential future health professional
• Introduce UK and USA health care systems as comparative systems
• Examine various modes of shared/multi disciplinary care in the light of
increased consumer demand, the mal-distribution of health
professionals and other factors that have impacted on supply and
demand.
Semester 2 HLTH1306 Health Practitioner Practice 2
• Expose students to the tension between the patient's lived experience
of illness and the boundaries of professional practice
• Assist students to assimilate knowledge of the lived experience with
critical analysis of professional practice as found in practice guidelines
• Explore how certain social concepts (eg., deinstitutionalisation and
medicalisation) that underpin practice form the basis for understanding
professional care of specific population groups. Eg Indigenous peoples
• Provide students with knowledge and skills for critically analysing
qualitative research accounts of illness and practice
• Equip students with the skills and processes used in the production of
evidence-based knowledge as found in systematic literature reviews.
