Overview
This capstone unit will integrate the knowledge and skills acquired from previous units in imaging investigations to advanced imaging applications. The unit integrates the skills and knowledge in clinical reasoning and problem solving previously developed across the curriculum, particularly in regard to advanced scope of practice roles. This unit provides you with opportunities to provide evidence of your safe practice and radiographic imaging skills, clinical reasoning and problem-solving skills prior to completion of your course.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Evaluate the principles and techniques used in selected advanced radiographic examinations and procedures.
- Provide evidence of safe practice and advanced patient positioning skills for appropriate clinical patient management, and perform radiographic examinations in a range of complex presentations using a simulated environment.
- Integrate the principles of evidence based practice to the advanced practice roles and responsibilities undertaken within Medical Imaging Departments.
Content
- Advanced Imaging Techniques for Clinical Practice
- Professional Ethics in the Workplace
- Professional Practice review including approaches for diverse cultural perspectives
- Peer review of professional practice
Learning Approaches
This unit engages you in your learning through a theory- to- practice approach with 60% of the unit made up of practical application of your advanced knowledge in simulation activities and tutorial problem-based learning. The unit adopts a blended learning approach which includes lectorials, problem- based learning and scheduled simulation laboratory sessions. Tutorials and simulation activities will be undertaken collaboratively with your peers, and structured to support your learning. The unit is presented in an intensive delivery format due to the extended clinical placement requirements for semester 8 of the program.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
Feedback in this unit will be provided to you in the following ways:
- a range of formative exercises will be discussed in the tutorial sessions and you will receive feedback during your engagement in these activities.
- Formal feedback from the summative assessment item: report will be available in addition to criteria sheets.
Assessment
Overview
Assessment items are designed to measure your ability to apply the knowledge and skills indicated in the learning outcomes. Assessment items will be held during semester and at the end of semester. The end of semester examination will include a capstone practical examination (OSCE). You must achieve a satisfactory level of achievement in this activity to satisfactorily complete the unit.
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.

Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Problem Solving Task
A reflective critique of possible safe practice solutions to scenario based problems that may include imaging for the diversity of the population including consideration of culture, age, gender and body habitus.
This is an assignment for the purposes of an extension.
Threshold Assessment:
Threshold conditions apply .If you do not achieve the pass level for this assessment task you are able to make one resubmission of this work for the minimum pass level only when the achieved mark/grade is within 10% (or 1 grade) of the pass level for the assessment item,
Assessment: Examination (practical)
Demonstrate ability to safely perform advanced radiographic examinations of complex presentations with appropriate evidence based approach in a simulated environment. This may include imaging for the diversity of the population including consideration of culture, age, gender and body habitus. Satisfactory completion of this item is mandatory.
Threshold Assessment:
Threshold conditions apply. If you do not achieve the pass level for this assessment task you are able to make one resubmission of this work for the minimum pass level only when the achieved mark/grade is within 10% (or 1 grade) of the pass level for the assessment item,
Assessment: Examination (written)
The theory assessment completed within the central examination period will evaluate understanding and application of concepts of advanced imaging practices. This assessment includes short answer questions only.
Threshold Assessment:
Threshold conditions apply. If you do not achieve the pass level for this assessment task you are able to make one resubmission of this work for the minimum pass level only when the achieved mark/grade is within 10% (or 1 grade) of the pass level for the assessment item,
Academic Integrity
Academic integrity is a commitment to undertaking academic work and assessment in a manner that is ethical, fair, honest, respectful and accountable.
The Academic Integrity Policy sets out the range of conduct that can be a failure to maintain the standards of academic integrity. This includes, cheating in exams, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion and contract cheating. It also includes providing fraudulent or altered documentation in support of an academic concession application, for example an assignment extension or a deferred exam.
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.
Breaching QUT’s Academic Integrity Policy or engaging in conduct that may defeat or compromise the purpose of assessment can lead to a finding of student misconduct (Code of Conduct – Student) and result in the imposition of penalties under the Management of Student Misconduct Policy, ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
