HEANP6003 Comprehensive Health Assessment and Application of Diagnostic Principles
In this unit, students will build upon their existing knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathophysiological processes, together with their clinical assessment skills and develop advanced health assessment techniques. As part of this development, students will use clinical reasoning and critical thinking to rationalise efficient use of available diagnostics and apply these to culturally diverse situations. Students will evaluate the use of digital technologies in supporting diagnostic methods in clinical practice. Students will be assessed on their assessment and diagnostic reasoning for a patient with a single system illness/disease state within their context of practice, their ability to determine normal from abnormal and recommendations for a management plan. Students are required to maintain a portfolio (log) of their reflections on professional knowledge, practice developments and collaborative practice developed during the 100 hours of interprofessional practice.
Commonwealth supported place (CSP)
A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).
2025 contribution amount* $1,157
2025 grandfathered contribution amount* $1,157
Grandfathered contribution amount - if you are a continuing student, who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
* For Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.
