Learning outcomes
Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.
| On completion of this unit, students should be able to: | |
|---|---|
| 1 | employ the core principles and methodologies of workplace health, workplace rehabilitation and work conditioning |
| 2 | critically analyse and integrate knowledge of injury prevention and rehabilitation, underlying principles and concepts, using an evidence-based practice |
| 3 | apply and adapt critical clinical thinking and clinical reasoning to provide timely identification of, and response(s) to, clinical safety risks for exercise for individuals with musculoskeletal conditions |
| 4 | autonomously design and deliver safe, effective and evidence-based functional exercise assessments and interventions for individuals with musculoskeletal disease or conditions |
