The Clinical Processes B subject continues from knowledge and skills gained in Clinical Processes A, from Semester 1. The student will develop their clinical communication skills (listening skills, empathy, informational and affective counselling) and apply these to the professional context. This subject will build upon skills of self-review and reflection that were established in Clinical Processes A. This subject will provide opportunities for student to plan management strategies for a range of simulated cases. It will involve development of skills such as planning session goals, and accurately reporting on clinical sessions. Clinical Processes B will provide an introduction to the principles of evidence based practice, and critical appraisal of the literature. This subject is structured around 12 workshops, and includes group discussions/activities, videos, the use of standardised and ‘simulated’ patients and role play.
Intended learning outcomes
At the completion of this subject the student will:
- consolidate clinical and technical skills associated with completing oral-peripheral examinations and be able to complete informal (checklists, observation and recording) and formal tests of speech perception, speech production, receptive and expressive language, fluency, voice, and swallowing, for the purposes of clinical and research data collection, with a range of clients and disorders;
- understand procedures and be able to interpret results from basic audiometric testing;
- demonstrate patient centred practice (e.g. prioritise and manage the client’s needs versus the clinician’s needs, and understand the impact of age, cognition, attention, fatigue, cultural diversity);
- demonstrate a range of strategies and reinforcement schedules to optimise client performance during test conditions and during habilitation sessions, and with clients/parents who exhibit inappropriate behaviour (abusive, aggressive, hyperactive, shy, etc.);
- communicate confidently and effectively with persons from culturally diverse populations; and
- demonstrate emerging skills in reflective practice; examining their own performance and effectiveness.
Generic skills
On completion of this subject students should have:
- improved understanding of their own ability to plan assessment and habilitation, and to optimise the performance of others
- critical thinking, analytical and problem solving skills
- the ability to integrate theory and practice and to apply this in novel situations
- an openness to new ideas
- planning and time management skills
- the ability to communicate their knowledge in both oral and written form
- the ability to recognise ethical and professional behaviour and implement these practices within the clinical environment
