Overview
This unit will continue to build on your previous clinical placement experience to deal with more complex patient presentations. The aim of this unit is to enable you to continue to develop and consolidate your skills and demonstrate safe practice in general radiography and minor procedures, whilst also allowing you to develop skills in computed tomography.
This period of clinical experience includes a placement within the computed tomography area to enable you to gain clinical experience in routine computed tomography following on from the theory unit undertaken this semester.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Perform general routine radiographic examinations of the chest, abdomen and skeleton under supervision whilst demonstrating safe practice.
- Assist in the clinical performance of minor procedures, operating theatre, accident and emergency, bedside radiography and routine computed tomography
- Demonstrate the interpersonal, communication and appropriate patient care skills required in clinical practice.
- Critically reflect on the outcomes of the imaging examinations participated in and report on this performance.
Content
Clinical experience of professional practice in appropriate roles for the following imaging contexts:
- Computed Tomography
- General Skeletal Radiography
- Fluoroscopic Procedures
- Minor Procedures
- Operating theatre
- Mobile/Bedside Imaging
- Accident and Emergency Imaging
Learning Approaches
This unit engages you in your learning through enabling you to apply the theoretical knowledge and skills developed both on campus and in your previous clinical placement in a different clinical setting. You should be performing general radiography on a range of patient types and conditions, and assisting in the advanced imaging modalities.
A range of clinical placement preferences provides medical imaging students with imaging opportunities for diverse populations including considerations of culture, age, gender, body habitus, presentation and priority.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
Feedback in this unit is provided to you in the following ways:
- comments on a case by case basis from your immediate supervisor
- feedback on the case study submissions submitted
- feedback from assessment by clinical supervisor at the end of placement
Assessment
Overview
You will be assessed by the clinical staff on your clinical practical ability and safe practice as demonstrated over the period of the placement. Informal feedback will be provided on a case by case basis from the immediate supervisor. In addition the clinical supervisor will complete an assessment form and provide feedback to you at the midpoint of the placement. This feedback will assist you to meet the appropriate professional standards by the completion of the placement and your final assessment.
A record of rostered hours verified by the supervisor must be submitted within one week of completion of the clinical period, along with the radiation badge. This is a mandatory requirement.
Assessment tasks will require you to provide evidence of your knowledge, skills and application of Clinical Practice in Medical Imaging, in a variety of formats, which are aligned with the learning outcomes of the unit and course.
For the purposes of professional accreditation and demonstration of capabilities/competencies, students must achieve a satisfactory level of performance in both the theoretical and practical elements of the unit to achieve a passing grade. This is an ungraded unit and the final mark is satisfactory or unsatisfactory.
Threshold assessment conditions:
In this unit, for you to be eligible to receive a passing grade, threshold assessment conditions apply. If you do not achieve the pass level for an assessment task you are able to make one resubmission of this work for the minimum pass level, only when their achieved mark/grade is within 10% (or 1 grade) of the pass level for the assessment item. You are advised to seek feedback on your submission from the unit coordinator prior to resubmission.
N.B. Resubmission is not usually available for U (unsatisfactory) result for placement performance.
Unit Grading Scheme
S (Satisfactory) / U (Unsatisfactory)
Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Case Study
As a beginning Medical Radiation Practitioner, you are required to demonstrate professional and practical skills through a report that critically evaluates a routine general radiographic examination that you have been involved with, including aspects of patient care, patient management, image production and interpretation.
This is an assignment for the purposes of an extension.
Threshold Assessment:
Threshold conditions apply.
Assessment: Placement Performance
Clinical supervisor's assessment of clinical practice and professional abilities using the assessment tool aligned to the MRPBA Professional Competency for Practice.
Weight: Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory
Threshold Assessment:
You are required to receive a satisfactory placement performance to pass this unit. Note that no resubmissions/re-examination of student performance is available in the case of unsatisfactory performance in this assessment.
Assessment: Professional Plans
The professional plan consists of a Clinical learning plan (pre/post placement), clinical hours and competencies achieved. The Clinical learning plan outlines the areas of professional practice which you will be completing during the placement and how this relates to the activities and competencies required as per the Clinical Guide, and post-placement a critical reflection on your performance and clinical ability, and also includes an outline of your completed clinical hours required for placement and competencies achieved during your placement.
Threshold Assessment:
Threshold assessment conditions
In this unit, for you to be eligible to receive a passing grade, threshold assessment conditions apply.
You are required to achieve a satisfactory result in all items of assessment to receive a S(satisfactory) result in the unit. If you who do not achieve a satisfactory result for an assessment task you are able to make one resubmission of this work. You are advised to seek feedback on your submission from the unit coordinator prior to resubmission.
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.
