Potential Exam Questions MEDI11004 – Professional Practice 20 of the questions below will be selected for the final exam. The questions are not always in the same order as the course materials are presented. You will need to search for some of the answers – which will involve repeated engagement with the course materials (hopefully!). Most answers are in the lectures, readings, study guide and other resources. Only one or two require a little research on your part – but you have time to undertake this. I suggest that you work to answer these questions week by week. By week 12 you will have a few left to research and can then devote your time to revising your answers. In the final exam you will only have 4.5 minutes to answer each question so keep your answers reasonably short / dot points. PS. I will not be posting answers to these questions – so please don’t ask!
