Overview
This unit is the second practicum unit that enables you to build on your initial learning opportunities and continue to consolidate your learning within the work integrated learning environment. In this practicum, you will be working with healthy clients. This unit also fulfils a major component of the practicum requirements that must be successfully completed to be an Exercise Scientist as outlined by Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA). This is the second of two work integrated learning opportunities. The second placement works towards consolidating your knowledge and skills of the profession.
This is a designated unit which is essential to your course progression. Designated units include professional experience units, units requiring the development of particular skills, and units requiring demonstration of certain personal qualities. If you fail to achieve a satisfactory level of performance in a designated unit, you may be excluded from enrolment or will be put on academic probation. If you fail a designated unit twice within your course, you may be excluded. Supplementary assessment is not available on designated units.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Undertake competent professional practice and perform exercise science attributes independently;
- Reflect on your placement experience and analyse your supervisor's report and feedback to identify areas for improvement and action for ongoing learning and improvement of professional capabilities.
- Provide evidence of professional capabilities and readiness to practise within the profession.
Content
This unit provides you with an opportunity to undertake 140 hours at an external practicum site of varying scopes of exercise science practice. Through observation, face to face client contact and placement administrative processes, you will be exposed to the scope of practice of an Exercise Scientist.
