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.

Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.
