HEASP6023 Speech Pathology Clinical Practice 2
This unit is the second of three professional experience practice units in the Master of Speech Pathology course which develops and contextualises the Professional Standards for Speech Pathologists including professional conduct, reflective practice, life-long learning and practice skills. This unit also provides students with an opportunity to develop, contextualise and assimilate prior learning to demonstrate competency across the lifespan. It focuses on working with adults to assess, diagnose, plan, implement and evaluate person, family and community-centred, evidence-based, culturally safe and responsive services and interventions in professional practice. Specifically, students will explore increasingly complex case scenarios across the lifespan. Students will progress towards being more independent in their intermediate level of professional practice knowledge and its application, as well as further developing their identity and competence as a Speech Pathologist across the practice areas of communication and swallowing. Counselling and interviewing skills will be consolidated to equip students for active and sensitive engagement with all stakeholders. Students will continue to build their professional portfolio as a basis for ongoing reflection and demonstration of evidence against the Professional Standards for Speech Pathologists and will progress their reflective skills to further transform their clinical identity and professional practice. Students will participate in supervised practice education based placement at an intermediate level competency for approximately and not less than 30 days, with flexible support from the university.
