Students are required to enrol concurrently in CAM511 and CAM512.
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 Procedures,

This unit is integrated with the programme in the following year of the course. There will be clinical attachments in a range of specialties to encompass the areas of Women and Children's Health, Psychiatry, General Practice, Medical and Surgical Specialties. Overall objectives are organised by the themes of Human Health & Disease (HHD), Communication & Collaboration (C&C), Community Health & Disease (CHD), Personal & Professional Development (PPD) and Integration (INT).
Weekly integrated teaching sessions will cover key common problems in the Australian Health Sector, will be case-based, and will require self-directed learning approaches. Therapeutics teaching will include the web-based resource of the National Prescribing Service educational programme and there will be an emphasis on the rational use of investigative procedures and treatments.
On completion of either CAM511 (LCS students), CAM513 (RCS students) or CAM515 (RCS students) students receive a XX (results shown in another unit) result. The final result for this unit is granted on completion of either CAM512 (LCS students), CAM514 (RCS students) or CAM516 (RCS students).

ASSESSMENT:
Formative Assessment:
Portfolio of Learning
The formative components of the portfolio may vary across Clinical Schools. There are essential components of the portfolio which are common to all schools and become part of the summative assessment. During the year, students will be assessed on the components of their portfolios and will have an opportunity for formative assessment of OSCE stations. The exact nature of these formative assessment components will be determined by each clinical school and can be found in the Year 5 Handbook.
Summative Assessment
All three clinical schools share a single summative assessment. This will consist of a written (MCQ/EMQ), clinical (OSCE) components, and portfolio assessment (see handbook for detailed criteria).
The essential components of the portfolio are:
1 . a log of skills, in which procedures seen and/or performed during the hospital and community placements are recorded;
2 . three Reflective Journal Pieces written in a prescribed format of at least 1000 words in length that reflect the learning objectives of the themes Personal and Professional Development and Communication and Collaboration;
3 . an assessment for each clinical attachment signed off by the supervising consultant based on performance during the attachment including performance in written and clinical assessment tasks set by the discipline concerned during the attachment;
4 . at least 3 satisfactory Objective Structured Long Examination Records (OSLERs). Students are required to submit 6 satisfactory OSLERs by the end of 6th year, with a minimum of 3 to be completed in 5th year. It is a requirement that 4 OSLERs be from different disciplines with at least one each year to be assessed by Clinical School staff.
5 . Evidence of participation in CBL sessions.
*All elements of the portfolio must be submitted prior to the November MCQ/EMQ and OSCE summative assessment, or the candidate will be deemed to have failed the course.
Students are required to pass both the MCQ/EMQ and the OSCE and portfolio components of the assessment to pass overall. The result awarded for this unit is an ungraded pass (UP).
