Clinical physiologists (clinical measurement scientists) perform diagnostic tests, working with patients in health care in multidisciplinary teams. Disciplines include cardiac science, neuroscience, respiratory science, sleep science and multidisciplinary practice. The placement is full-time, intensive, unpaid and hands-on, working in the profession. This practical component is compulsory for completion of the unit and the clinical physiology minor. You will learn and develop core competencies in a field of clinical physiology including: communication skills, the demonstration of professional and ethical practice, infection control, patient confidentiality and privacy and cultural issues. Successful completion of this unit provides students with the competencies and experience required to apply for graduate positions in clinical physiology and employability skills. Entry into the minor is competitive (based on GPA and application) due to the limited number of placements.
