Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology (Rehabilitation)

Residential schools

A central component of the Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology (Rehabilitation) is two residential schools held on the CSU Bathurst campus. These residential schools give students the opportunity to attend campus for face-to-face lectures and tutorials, use university facilities, and to meet academic staff and other students.

Residential school 1 is held in June / July and is three days in duration. This residential school will develop student's knowledge and skills in applied clinical exercise physiology as they relate to EHR509 Clinical Assessment and Exercise Prescription for Chronic Conditions and assist to prepare students to commence their clinical placements in EHR510 Exercise Physiology and Health Care Practice in Session 2.

Residential school 2 is held in November and is two days in duration. This residential school involves a practical skills assessment that will evaluate your performance of core competencies related to Exercise Physiology using a number of realistic clinical scenarios to reflect real workplace situations and professional tasks.

Attendance at both residential schools is a compulsory course requirement for all students. Students who are unable to attend both residential schools will need to apply for an exemption and if approved, attend both residential schools in the following year in order to be eligible to graduate.
