HIP300 Complex Cases in Rehabilitation (16)

This subject provides students with the opportunity to evaluate complex issues of rehabilitation throughout the lifespan. A problem based approach enables students to consolidate knowledge of health, wellbeing and rehabilitation, and extend their skills in clinical reasoning and evidence based practice in order to develop high level skills in case management. This subject will extend the student's cultural competence journey through consideration of culturally respectful communication and the development of culturally responsive partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their communities. This subject will also facilitate the transition of student to rehabilitation practitioner and case manager, with the skills required to foster self-care and resilience. Students will develop knowledge and skill sets that can be applied to enhance the lives of clients, enable sustainable behaviour and habits of practice for themselves, and facilitate lifelong learning. This capstone subject will assist students in their preparation for entry to the workforce as a graduate health professional.
