1. SUBJECT AT A GLANCE 1.1 Requirements for completion of the subject In order to complete the year, you must complete all prescribed learning activities to the pre-determined satisfactory standard, as per the requirements of: •

Attendance and Participation

• • • •

Placement Professional Behaviour Assessment Cultural Immersion Workshop

Attendance and participation The workload comprises timetabled hours and other attendance requirements, as well as personal study hours, including completion of assessment requirements. Note that “attendance at specified classes may be a mandatory requirement for satisfactory completion of some subjects”, as detailed in the (Learning, Teaching and Assessment Procedures, 3.1.8e); and that additional hours may be required per week for those students in need of English language, numeracy or other learning support. Attendance requirements are detailed in the MBBS Student Attendance and Leave Guideline. Any missed time will need to be approved as detailed in the Guide.

Timetabled Sessions A week of timetabled sessions will vary from 20-24 hours (4 modules x 5 hours + 2 hour integrative + possibly 1-2 hours clinical skills) with possible extra hours under special circumstances. Reschedules for public holidays, special guest speakers, or coincidental rotational activities occurring in the same week may contribute to a higher number of required hours in a specific week (up to 28 hours). Sign in sessions are identified on the timetable and the College monitors attendance at these sessions. As per the MBBS Student Attendance and Leave Guideline, if you miss >20% of these, it may trigger referral to the Associate Dean, Students. Attendance at rostered Clinical Skills sessions is compulsory. Refer to the Years 1, 2 and 3 Clinical Skills Sessions Non-Attendance Process for more information.

Non-timetabled Study Requirements You are also expected to meet with your Home Group once a week, every week of the study period for one hour. This is at a time mutually agreed upon by the whole group and as such does not appear in the timetable. A couple of recommended timeslots do appear in the timetable to assist groups to find suitable times. It is recommended that you undertake 1-2 hours of extra study, online activities, preparation or assignment work for every hour of timetabled contact during the study period.

Cultural Immersion Workshop You will attend a one-day cultural immersion program in September. This program will enhance your understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their health. It will be held at James Cook University and will include workshops about history and culture, self and diversity. The workshops will improve students’ cross cultural awareness by being able to immerse themselves in the key concepts of understanding the cultural appropriateness and knowledge and to demonstrate an understanding of cultural safety. Cultural Immersion Learning Outcomes History 1 Be able to describe an overview of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history as a continuum from precontact to present. 2 Identify, acknowledge and analyse one’s own emotional reactions to this history, and offer opinions respectfully. 3 Explain the connection between history and present health outcomes, including the forms and impacts of racism. Culture and Diversity 1 Identify, acknowledge and analyse one’s own cultural values and reflect on their implications for health care. 2 Describe and explore the influence of culture on perspectives, attitudes, assumptions, beliefs and behaviours. 3 Demonstrate an understanding of the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and their relationship to identity in contemporary Australian society. 4 Demonstrate an understanding of the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and their relationship to identity in contemporary Australian society. Please Note: Specific activities also connect to other Year Learning Outcomes.

Placements Along with lectures, tutorials and workshops, you are required to do community and/or clinical placement in health facilities and are reminded of the following expectations and requirements, as per the Student Placement Guidelines. Knowledge of these requirements is essential. Please see Section 6 Placement for more details.

Clinical or professional experience requirements You are required, as a condition of your enrolment in MBBS, to obtain and maintain a number of mandatory requirements for the duration of your medical studies. Information on the specific requirements, including relevant forms and checklists can be found on LearnJCU under Rules and Guidelines/Mandatory Requirements or by visiting https://www.jcu.edu.au/professional-experienceplacement and accessing Preparation Checklists. Students who do not maintain their mandatory requirements for the duration of their medical studies will have sanctions applied to their enrolment as per the Professional Experience Placement Requirements Procedure. Refer to Key Dates section for submission deadlines.

Professional behaviour Professionalism and Leadership is one of the domains of the Australian Medical Council’s framework of graduate outcomes. Specific learning outcomes have been developed under this framework for this subject and students are assessed against these learning outcomes. Students whose professional behaviour is unsatisfactory and is not remediated have therefore failed to meet the academic requirements of the year. Students need to meet the attendance requirements, submit all assessment and other required items (e.g. placement documentation, pre -placement requirements) and demonstrate professionalism in their interactions with patients, staff, supervisors and other students in order to successfully complete this subject. Student performance in this domain will be partly assessed via the Professionalism Indicator Report (PIR - see assessment item 10). The PIR is issued individually to each student in each study period and provides an itemised summary of a suite of professionalism indicators. Data for the PIR will be collected by College staff across the semester and provided to students by email at the same time as feedback on exam performance. Students with ‘borderline’ or ‘below expected standard’ performance will meet with the appropriate staff member and determine a remediation plan. Towards the end of SP2, student progress towards completion of the remediation plan will be reviewed, along with PIR data for SP2. Students who have met the remediation requirements and whose SP2 PIR is ‘at expected standard’ will be deemed to have met the professionalism requirements for the year. Students whose professional behaviour continues to be below expected standard and is not remediated will have failed to meet the academic requirements of the year and will be awarded a failing grade for the subject chain.

Assessment Assessment is an essential part of learning as it provides information about the degree to which students have mastered the learning outcomes as per the MBBS Program Assessment Guidelines. Assessment will be matched to the learning outcomes of the curriculum, and will: • • • • •

include knowledge and understanding of the course content, have an emphasis on the learning of concepts, applied knowledge and skills, include effective acquisition of the required skills, be relevant to patient care and professional development, and include development of appropriate attitudes toward the role of a doctor and his/her responsibilities to the community.

It is an academic requirement of the College that all set work is completed to a Satisfactory attempt in the study period it was due, in order to proceed to the next part of the course. See Section 3.0 of this document for detailed assessment information.

1.2 Inherent requirements Inherent requirements are the fundamental abilities, attributes, skills and behaviours needed to achieve the learning outcomes of a course while preserving the academic integrity of the university’s learning, assessment and accreditation processes. Students and prospective students must be able to demonstrate that they have acquired or have the ability to acquire the inherent requirements for their degree. Reasonable adjustments may be made to assist students to manage additional circumstances impacting on their studies provided these do not change the academic integrity of a degree. Reasonable adjustments do not alter the need to be able to demonstrate the inherent requirements of the course. Students who believe they will experience challenges completing their degree or course because of their disability, health condition or other reason should discuss their concerns with an AccessAbility Services team member or a member of College staff, such as the Course Coordinator. In the case where it is determined that inherent requirements cannot be met with reasonable adjustments, the University staff can provide guidance regarding other study options.
