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 | integrate theory with practice in a variety of multidisciplinary clinical exercise physiology practice environments |
| 2 | design and manage the clinical exercise therapy for clients with metabolic, respiratory, kidney, cancer and cardiovascular pathologies |
| 3 | apply individual health and psychosocial information to formulate assessments and interventions to treat and engage individual clients |
| 4 | reflect on learning and personal experience towards professional development |
