Not a particularly well run or organised unit. They've obviously made some changes to the unit structure over the past few years and still haven't perfected it, but I really did enjoy that they removed CBL. Simulation was pretty good, Narelle and Shane have put a lot of effort into creating the program and do a good job running it. The unit as a whole does a decent job given it's not centred around one area of physio (rather it covers random bits and pieces that aren't covered in the first two years of the course) but I didn't particularly enjoy it.

Steve Maloney - most of the physio theory lectures
Liana Cope - some physio theory lectures
Jo Corbett - anatomy
Narelle Dalwood & Shane Pritchard - they run the Thursday clinical simulation
Various guest lecturers

Nope, but some practice OSCE scenarios were given to us in prac

3 out of 5

Yes, with screen capture

Nothing new, you'll just be using bits of textbooks from previous years - Clinical Sports Medicine, Neurological Rehabilitation, etc. and for anything extra they provide the readings.

Usually:
Monday - a few online lectures and some prep for lectures and pracs but nothing on campus
Tuesday - 2 lectures & prac
Wednesday - 2 lectures & prac
Thursday - clinical simulation
Friday - day off
The unit guide says ~20 contact hours but it was definitely less than that, especially given the fact that they ditched CBL. It's a nice change from the much higher contact hours of first and second year
