These are Theme 1 Personal and Professional Development; Theme 2 Population, Society and Health; Theme 3 Fundamental Knowledge of Health Science; Theme 4 Applied Practice; and Theme 5 Research. Problem-based learning (PBL) and clinical practice provide the opportunities for integration of the different themes within the course. You will undertake a clinical attachment (5 weeks) during this unit, providing you with the opportunity to apply integrated knowledge and skills from previous learning in the Bachelor of Physiotherapy to patient care in either an acute, subacute or community setting.
