This unit builds on the proceeding units by introducing the student to the gastrointestinal, renal and reproductive systems. Students will explore clinical conditions associated with the gastrointestinal, renal and reproductive systems and develop an understanding of the relevant basic medical sciences in the context of common clinical conditions associated with these systems. Students will learn about history taking and clinical examinations of the gastrointestinal and renal systems. Through the cases, students will begin to develop their diagnostic skills.
Students will participate in the 'Perspectives on Ageing' Unit, to be delivered by staff from the School of Nursing. This incorporates Theme 2-5 teaching and uses a combination of face-to-face lectures and asynchronous online tutorials. In addition, a series of Theme 4 seminars, student case presentations and the Kids and Families Program will complement the theme 2-5 learning.
The unit will consolidate much of the knowledge and skills obtained in the preceding three units and lay the foundation for a more integrated patient-centered approach to medicine, which will be further developed and emphasised in following years.
In order to commence workplace learning outside of the University of Tasmania (including clinical placements and visits) students are required to demonstrate compliance with the Faculty of Health Science and School of Medicine policies relevant to workplace based learning. These include the Police Check Policy and Safe in Practice kit, Infectious Disease Policy, Code of Conduct and Student Placement Agreement. Students who do not comply with these policies will not be placed or will be removed from placements and therefore will not be able to complete this unit. Students who have not complied or are unsure of the policies should seek guidance from the School.
