Overview
Following an approved Outward Bound Mobility activity, this unit provides an opportunity for students to further develop knowledge and skills for working in a globalised context through exploration and analysis. Health professionals, including biomedical scientists, are faced with rapidly changing challenges that require an understanding of global trends and issues that influence practice and healthcare provision in their discipline. This unit advances students' knowledge and skills regarding health practice in global contexts through analysis of an international study experience undertaken during the course and examination of health-related issues or challenges in comparison with the United Nations World Health Organisation's (WHO) Sustainable Development Goals. Learning activities offer an international 'lens' through which students reflect on experiences enabling the opportunity to broaden and deepen a repertoire of skills for working in local and/or global contexts.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Develop a detailed profile of the organisation/facility/activity visited during your international mobility activity.
- Analyse key demographic, biological, environmental, socio-cultural and/or political factors that influence health activities undertaken by the organisation/facility/service visited.
- Demonstrate an understanding of the United Nations WHO Sustainable Development Goals
- Critically analyse successes and limitations associated with enacting the selected WHO sustainable development goals in the region visited during your international mobility program
- Develop a reflective account of learned practices and experiences from your international mobility.
Content
A program of learning experiences relevant to the organisation/facility/service visited during the mobility activity will be undertaken in an international setting. The program will give students the opportunity to develop an appreciation of the complexity of different healthcare and/or community-based facilities/services, and to appraise cultural awareness and competence. Throughout the experience, students will be required to collaborate on a professional level with colleagues, team members, healthcare representatives, and members of a community. They will be expected to demonstrate communication, teamwork, and self-management skills expected of students at this level.
Learning Approaches
In this unit you will participate in experiences designed to help you further develop your knowledge and skills for practising in both local and global health environments. When you return from your international experience, you will participate in seminars designed to promote peer learning and critically analyse your experience.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
Feedback on your performance in assessment tasks will be provided.

Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Case study
This assessment asks you to write an analytical account of the international experience that you have undertaken, particularly as it relates to the organisation/facility/service visited, and highlight the major political, social, cultural and specific health issues for the country you visited. Your analysis should align with a nominated United Nations WHO Sustainable Development Goal, and be supported by the PESTEL framework and current literature.
This is an assignment for the purposes of an extension.
Assessment: Reflective summary
In this assignment, you are asked to select one of the targets (13) related to the United Nations WHO Sustainable Development Goal and peoples' good health and well-being. The assignment requires you to provide a critical analysis (written or oral) of actions that could be undertaken by your profession/discipline locally, nationally and/or globally to contribute to the achievement of the selected target. You will provide a reflective narrative incorporating personal observations experienced on your international mobility tour.
This is an assignment for the purposes of an extension.
Academic Integrity
Students are expected to engage in learning and assessment at QUT with honesty, transparency and fairness. Maintaining academic integrity means upholding these principles and demonstrating valuable professional capabilities based on ethical foundations.
Failure to maintain academic integrity can take many forms. It includes cheating in examinations, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, and submitting an assessment item completed by another person (e.g. contract cheating). It can also include providing your assessment to another entity, such as to a person or website.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Further details of QUT’s approach to academic integrity are outlined in the Academic integrity policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Breaching QUT’s Academic integrity policy is regarded as student misconduct and can lead to the imposition of penalties ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
