Overview
This unit enables experienced MR practitioners to develop skills that will prepare them to assume leadership roles in regards to the provision of high quality MR clinical services within complex organisations. It will facilitate the integration of knowledge and skills developed in previous units and promote high level clinical decision making within an evidence based framework.
Students will critique current approaches and techniques for improving the quality and safety of MR practice and apply these approaches and techniques to developing evidence based plans and interventions to elements of modern MR practice of interest to them. By design this unit will promote the development of advanced clinical-decision-making skills and the capacity to work within multidisciplinary health care teams. The unit will provide the opportunity for students to negotiate and set personal learning goals in consultation with the unit coordinator and clinical mentor.
