Clinical placement attendance is compulsory. MRS370 is designed to support, strengthen and enhance your understanding of your professional practice in contrast studies, interventional procedures and mammography practice. Each teaching week will be supported by on line material; critical thinking is encouraged and links to on line resources will be provided to encourage students to read widely. Content in session one covers contrast studies and interventional procedures including: contrast and reactions; angiography (DSA and cardiac catheter); interventional procedures (laparoscopic cholecystectomy and biopsy) and the common protocols for imaging. Content in session two will inform mammographic practice in both the diagnostic and screening setting in Australia. Subject Delivery Class/tutorial times and location If you are enrolled in an internal offering of this subject, your class times can be found at Timetable @ (http://timetable.csu.edu.au). If you are enrolled in the online offering of the subject, this CSU timetable will not apply. Find out how to use Timetable @ CSU via the Student Portal Class (http://student.csu.edu.au/study/study-essentials/timetable) page. Timetable Learning, teaching and support strategies Clinical: In addition to your academic subject content this subject incorporates clinical content. The clinical content is specifically designed to support your professional practice, future occupation and discipline. The content of the subject is driven by the course team, students, the MRS profession, industry partners, external educators, accreditation bodies, regulatory authorities and consumer communities. Workplace learning (WPL) is therefore the key pedagogy in this professional education subject. As the primary teaching and learning strategy, WPL allows you to experience responsibilities in an authentic work context in the professional workplace; engage with a wide variety of patient issues; develop capabilities to work in professional roles as a Graduate; experience, review and reflect upon the impact and outcomes of your roles and activities in relation to clients and to participate in the evaluation of your professional work roles. Key teaching and learning strategies include: WPL guided by clinical educators, online learning, assessment and feedback, open education resources, YouTube, self-directed learning, community engagement, peer learning, professional conferences and workshops and most importantly self-reflection. Feedback on reflections, the clinical supervisor's report and your end of session assessment will provide opportunity for debriefing of your WPL experiences. You are strongly encouraged to maintain regular contact with the Subject Coordinator and the teaching team to discuss any issue you may be having. For more information of WPL see: http://www.csu.edu.au/division/student-learning/home/practice-based-education Practicum requirements Clinical PrerequisitesCharles Sturt University Subject Outline MRS370 201730 W I-9 February 2017-Version 1 Page of 7 40 Students should be aware of the following prerequisites for clincial placement. Please be sure to check that no certificates are expired and all compliances are met prior to the commencement of the Residency. Criminal Record Clearance NSW Health requires that all students undertaking clinical placements obtain a Criminal Record Clearance by successfully obtaining a National Police Check. National Police Check documentation is available through the student's closest state or territory police authority. For example, students residing in NSW would use the NSW Police website - www.police.nsw.gov.au/about_us/structure/specialist_operations/forensic_services/criminal_records_section (http://www.police.nsw.gov.au/about_us/structure/specialist_operations/forensic_services/criminal_records_section) and fill out a P799 form. Once this form is completed - students should contact their local police station and book a time and location to submit the form(s). Any questions about the National Police Check and its relevance to NSW Health should be checked using the following link: www.health.nsw.gov.au/jobs/student_clearance/qa.asp (http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/jobs/student_clearance/qa.asp) The National Police Check is valid for three years from the date of processing by the relevant state or territory authority. Students who lose their National Police Check must apply for, and pay the prescribed fee for a replacement. Overseas students may need to obtain their National Police Check through the Australian NOTE: Federal Police see: (http://www.afp.gov.au) www.afp.gov.au Prohibited Employment Declaration (the working with children check) All students will be required to complete the Prohibited Employment Declaration (required by the Child Protection [Prohibited Employment] Act 1998) before they undertake any clinical placements. The relevant form can be accessed by following this link - http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/resources/jobs/student_clearance/pdf/Appendix_6.pdf Occupational Screening and Vaccination against Infectious Diseases NSW Health requires that all students who undertake clinical placements be screened and vaccinated in accordance with their guidelines. An Adult Vaccination Record Card will be distributed to new students at the commencement of the course. Students who do not comply with NSW Health requirements may be denied permission to undertake clinical placements.Charles Sturt University – Wagga Campus has a Health Promotions Officer (Coleen Pearce) and she can be contacted on 02 6933 2263 or [email protected] to discuss immunisation requirements. Coleen will provide an extensive overview and answer any queries which students may have. FORMS 2 and 3 according to the requirements from NSW Health should be filled out prior to undertaking clinical placement. Please see the following website for more information - www.health.nsw.gov.au/publichealth/immunisation/ohs/ (http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/publichealth/immunisation/ohs/) First Aid Certificates The Faculty of Science at Charles Sturt University requires that students hold a current First Aid Certificate (basic life support level with CPR) prior to undertaking a clinical placement. Students who do not have a First Aid Certificate should attend a class run through the Australian Red Cross, St John First Aid or a local provider. Clinical Placement Interstate Please note that clinical placements outside of NSW may have unique requirements, for example: Queensland- Students require a Blue Card and a student radiation licence http://www.ccypcg.qld.gov.au/bluecard/volunteers/index.html http://www.health.qld.gov.au/radiationhealth/documents/app-use-mrp.pdfCharles Sturt University Subject Outline MRS370 201730 W I-9 February 2017-Version 1 Page of 8 40 Victoria- Victorian Working with Children Check http://www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au/ Northern Territory - NT Police Check http://www.pfes.nt.gov.au/Police/Community-safety/SAFE-NT.aspx ACT- Students attending placement in the ACT are required to have screening for TB, regardless of their history It is your responsibility to ensure that this documentation is applied for well in advance of the placement. Some documents can take up to six weeks to process, so you should start applying as soon as clinical placement allocation is confirmed. Clinical requirements Overview Students will undertake two (2) clinical practicum block of six (6) weeks duration, during this subject. Students will undertake all examinations commensurate with their past experience, as directed by their clinical supervisor or other appointed accredited practitioner.If students are unable to complete requirements in the allocated 3A and 3B placements due to misadventure an application for special consideration must be submitted. Where approved, an additional 3C placement will be arranged. The duration of the 3C placement will be determined by the time required for the student to meet the clinical requirements. During the Clinical Practicum: students should undertake only those examinations covered on campus prior to each practicum; for medico-legal reasons, students may only observe and/or assist with examinations not covered on campus prior to each practicum. Students shall not perform examinations not covered on campus prior to each practicum. During each clinical experience practicum, students will: under immediate supervision, progressively observe, assist with and perform contrast enhanced, radiographic examinations and interventional procedures covered in the subject; progressively apply and consolidate plain radiographic skills and techniques and patient care and communication skills in a variety of clinical settings and at an increasing level of clinical difficulty; under supervision, perform plain radiographic examinations of the visceral structures of the thorax and abdomen and the skeletal structures of the upper and lower limbs, pelvis, bony thorax, the vertebral column and skull; develop clinical problem solving skills; develop critical assessment skills regarding the application of alternative projections, techniques and protocols, as may be influenced by patient age and/or condition or equipment types available; develop professional attitudes and behavior in the clinical environment. Personal dosimeters (radiation monitors or TLDs) are issued to each TLDs and Clinical Placement: student and remain the property of CSU. Under State Government regulations and CSU policy allCharles Sturt University Subject Outline MRS370 201730 W I-9 February 2017-Version 1 Page of 9 40 students potentially exposed to radiation during the course of their studies, including clinical placement and practical work, MUST wear their radiation monitor (TLD). It is the student responsibility to ensure the TLD is: worn at all times; stored and maintained appropriately; returned on time after clinical placement (a late charge will be incurred); reported immediately if damaged or lost to the Subject Coordinator in the first instance. You are provided with a thermoluminescence dosimeter (TLD) for every placement. It is a legal requirement, as well as a CSU requirement, that you wear it at all times whilst on clinical placement. If you attend clinical placement without This applies even if your placement is observational only. your TLD for any reason, even if you have lost or misplaced it, the clinical centre has been instructed by the University to refuse your placement until such time as you have found it, or received a replacement. A clinical centre may opt to loan you a temporary TLD until you have found the one issued by the University, or it has been replaced. However, they are under no obligation to do so, and not every department will have access to a temporary TLD. If they do provide you with one, they must also be able to provide CSU with your radiation dose reading for the time period for which you are wearing the TLD. An incident report must also be lodged with the University radiation Safety Committee regarding the same https://csupublicportal.scrimonline.com.au/Main.aspx CSU is under no obligation to arrange extra placement time for students who miss placement days due to a missing TLD. If a student does not meet the time requirements for their placement due to a missing TLD, they may fail the placement, and therefore the associated university subject. : In NSW, a printed copy of the granted General Exemption Licence as written Radiation Licensing by an appropriately classified licence holder (GE); must be kept with student at all times. Residential school You are not required to attend a residential school for this subject. Recommended student time commitment CSU Academic Senate policy states that a standard 8 point subject should require you to spend a total of between 140-160 hours engaged in the learning and teaching activities. This subject has been developed as a 16 point subject over 2 semesters and will require students to participate in approximately 240 hours of learning and teaching per semester across the 2 session as specified below including 140 hours of clinical practicum per semester. The excess in subject hours reflects time spent concurrently on professional placement. This excess has been budgeted with a reduction in hours in other third year subjects which compensates for the excess hours in MRS370. Due to clinical blocks, there are only 10 teaching weeks per session. The following is a recommended breakdown of the hours per session allocated for successful completion of this: Face to face classes: 20 hours (2 hours per teaching week) per session Assigned reading: 15 hours (1.5 hours per teaching week) per session Tutorials: 1 x 2 hours in total; session two only Discussions forums: 10 hours (1 hour per teaching week) per session Assessment preparation: 20 hours (2 hours per teaching week) per session Therefore, you will need to allocate approximately 6.5 hours to successfully per teaching week complete this subject. Academic workload is in addition to the allotted clincial hours per session. Please note the subject time-cost is an approximation and may require more or less time depending on your preferred learning style and study habits. You will have an opportunity to provide feedback on the actual time-cost associated with completing this subject in the online subject evaluation at the endCharles Sturt University Subject Outline MRS370 201730 W I-9 February 2017-Version 1 Page of 10 40 of session. However, as students learn in different ways and possess varied learning histories that influence the time required to engage with the learning and assessment activities associated with a subject, the time you are required to devote to this subject may be different to those indicated above. Students should use clinical time for clinical work only.

Analysing events that have occurred in the clinical setting, and understanding how these events have helped in the development of required professional attributes, is a proven way of discovering what you have yet to learn, and deciding on improved strategies for the next time a similar event is encountered. For clinical practicum 3A, you must complete one (1) reflective entry each (maximum 200 words each) on the five broad Domains of professional practice as defined by the Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia and outlined below: 1. Professional and ethical conduct This domain covers practitioners’ responsibility to be professional and ethical, and to practise within the current medico-legal framework. It also addresses their responsibility for ensuring that patient/client confidentiality and privacy is maintained at all times, while recognising the potential role as a patient/client advocate. 2. Communication and collaboration This domain covers medical radiation practitioners’ responsibility in utilising appropriate, clear and effective communication. It also addresses their responsibility for ensuring that they function effectively with other health practitioners at all times. Charles Sturt University Subject Outline MRS370 201730 W I-9 February 2017-Version 1 Page of 11 40 3. Evidence-based practice and professional learning This domain covers medical radiation practitioners’ responsibility to engage in evidence-based practice and to critically monitor their actions through a range of reflective processes. It also addresses their responsibility for identifying, planning and implementing their ongoing professional learning needs. 4. Radiation safety and risk management This domain covers medical radiation practitioners’ responsibility to protect patients/clients, others and the environment from harm by managing and responding to the risks inherent in both healthcare and medical radiation practice. It also addresses their responsibility for ensuring high quality professional services are provided for the benefit of patients/clients and other service users. 5. Practice in medical radiation science (diagnostic radiography/radiation therapy) This domain covers the knowledge, skills and capabilities a medical radiation practitioner requires to practise independently. Elements in this domain are common to all medical radiation practitioners, taking into account the different requirements of each division of registration. Reflections should include specific examples from placement of how you have learned a specific skill and/or characteristic. , they must be specific and an event that Generic examples are not satisfactory you have been involved in in some way. It is that you use the Gibbs Cycle of reflective practice to guide the structure of each suggested reflection: Experience: What happened Feelings: What wre you feeling Evaluation: What was good or bad about the situation : Analysis To make sense of the situation Conclusion: What else could have been done Action Plan : What would you do next time Rationale This item is the beginning of a collective work that will span your entire degree. The collection of reflections that you begin in year two will be built on throughout the 2nd, 3rd and 4th years of study. It provides evidence of your learning and professional development. It also provides an opportunity for reflection and helps to see the connections between class activities, clinical activities, learning outcomes and graduate attributes. Learning outcomes assessed: be able to demonstrate appropriate professional behaviour. be able to maintain a portfolio identifying their learning during their practicum experiences and relate these experiences to theoretical (university based) learning. be able to achieve a satisfactory rating for all competencies listed in the clinical assessment manual for this level. be able to apply appropriate ethical and legal standards be able to understand the importance of due care and diligence be able to demonstrate command and application of radiation safety principles in the clinical setting Marking criteria This task is marked according to the following rubric: Charles Sturt University Subject Outline MRS370 201730 W I-9 February 2017-Version 1 Page of 12 40 Criteria HD D CR P F Reflection on Domain 1- professional and ethical conduct (18%) The student demonstrates evidence of having achieved the above learning outcome during the placement block Student has achieved learning outcome, demonstrated by valid illustrations from their clinical experience.

This should demonstrate a wide variety of experience in all areas learned in the relevant professional practice subjects. Failure to show evidence of this may result in a supplementary clinical session. Presentation Clinical Records MUST be kept neat and tidy as well as legible for the Clinical Coordinator or designated person to properly assess the work undertaken. Requirements Placement attendance You are expected to achieve 100% attendance when undertaking WIL placement. You are allowed 2 days sick leave per placement block without documentation, but these are only to be used for actual illness. Any more than 2 days sick leave requires a medical certificate. Any other reasons for absence must be made up, by arrangement with the clinical supervisor. Other absences need to be approved by the clinical academic staff. Any more than 2 days sick leave may require the time to be made up, by arrangement with the clinical supervisor in consultation with the clinical academic, having regard to the specific circumstances and WPL requirements. This will include an assessment of whether or not you have had enough time on placement to fulfil the minimum workplace learning requirements for the specific program. This will be assessed on a case by case basis. Students who do not attend without substantial documentary evidence to justify their absence, will be awarded a "Fail" grade in the subject.

This assessment item allows the student to gain and demonstrate their knowledge of all aspects of patient management through their encounter of the individual in a clinical environment. Students are required to show understanding of protocols pertaining to certain areas of their patient's history, diagnosis and treatment, both technically and clinically, thus allowing the student to actively learn about relevant and current clinical practice. This assessment task assesses the following learning outcomes: be able to apply appropriate ethical and legal standards be able to discuss the types, properties, reactions to and general applications of, radiological contrast media. be able to evaluate, justify and apply the imaging protocol and technique implications applicable to the common examination indications be able to identify, describe and justify the appearances of common pathological and traumatic conditions be able to discuss, justify and administer correct patient preparation and care applicable to basic plain and contrast examinations be able to evaluate and compare the physical principles and instrumentation used in clinical radiographic examinations Marking criteria Case Study There are two rubrics relevant to the marking for this assessment task for each student. The first of these is a gateway marking criteria. You will be awarded a satisfactory/unsatisfactory grade dependent on satisfying the criteria in rubric one. Following a satisfactory grade in this, your case study will be assessed against rubric two. If you do not receive a satisfactory grade meeting the confidentiality and permission requirements of rubric one, your case study will be awarded zero marks. Following a satisfactory grade in rubric one, your case summary will be marked according to the content, depth and relevance of the presentation.

Analysing events that have occurred in the clinical setting, and understanding how these events have helped in the development of required professional attributes, is a proven way of discovering what you have yet to learn, and deciding on improved strategies for the next time a similar event is encountered. For clinical practicum 3B, you must complete one (1) reflective entry each (maximum 200 words each) on the five broad Domains of professional practice as defined by the Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia and outlined below: 1. Professional and ethical conduct This domain covers practitioners’ responsibility to be professional and ethical, and to practise within the current medico-legal framework. It also addresses their responsibility for ensuring that patient/client confidentiality and privacy is maintained at all times, while recognising the potential role as a patient/client advocate. 2. Communication and collaboration This domain covers medical radiation practitioners’ responsibility in utilising appropriate, clear and effective communication. It also addresses their responsibility for ensuring that they function effectively with other health practitioners at all times. 3. Evidence-based practice and professional learning This domain covers medical radiation practitioners’ responsibility to engage in evidence-based practice and to critically monitor their actions through a range of reflective processes. It also addresses their responsibility for identifying, planning and implementing their ongoing professional learning needs. 4. Radiation safety and risk management This domain covers medical radiation practitioners’ responsibility to protect patients/clients, others and the environment from harm by managing and responding to the risks inherent in both healthcare and medical radiation practice. It also addresses their responsibility for ensuring high quality professional services are provided for the benefit of patients/clients and other service users. 5. Practice in medical radiation science (diagnostic radiography/radiation therapy) This domain covers the knowledge, skills and capabilities a medical radiation practitioner requires to practise independently. Elements in this domain are common to all medical radiation practitioners, taking into account the different requirements of each division of registration. Reflections should include specific examples from placement of how you have learned a specific skillCharles Sturt University Subject Outline MRS370 201730 W I-9 February 2017-Version 1 Page of 28 40 and/or characteristic. , they must be specific and an event that Generic examples are not satisfactory the student has been involved in in some way.

The collection of reflections that you begin in year two will be built on throughout the 2nd, 3rd and 4th years of study. It provides evidence of your learning and professional development. It also provides an opportunity for reflection and helps to see the connections between class activities, clinical activities, learning outcomes and graduate attributes.

We may use Turnitin to check your submitted work for plagiarism. You can use Turnitin to check for plagiarism (http://student.csu.edu.au/library/integrity/referencing-at-csu/checking) in your assessments before submission. How to apply for special consideration Academic regulations provide for special consideration to be given if you suffer misadventure or extenuating circumstances during the session (including the examination period) which prevents you from meeting acceptable standards or deadlines. Find the form on the Student Portal Special (http://student.csu.edu.au/study/academic-advice) Consideration, Misadventure, Advice and Appeals page. Extensions Assignments should reach the University no later than the due date. Assignments, therefore, need to be posted some time in advance of the due date to arrive on time. You are requested to do all in your power to meet assignment deadlines. Extensions will only be given if you face unforeseen and unavoidable problems. Extensions cannot be given towards the end of session. In this case you need to apply for an incomplete grade or subject withdrawal. Work and family related pressures do not normally constitute sufficient reasons for the granting of extensions or incomplete grades. If it becomes obvious that you are not going to be able to submit an assignment on time because of an unavoidable problem, you must submit your request for an extension in writing prior to the due date. Extensions will not be granted on or after the due date. Assignments received more than two weeks after their due dates, without an extension having been granted, will be returned with no marks awarded. Pro-rata reductions in the awarded mark (10% per working day) will be made for items received late without a granted extension. Extensions, for students resident in Australia, can only be granted by the subject coordinator. The last date for receipt of assignments at the University is the last day of the teaching session (prior to the exam period), in circumstances where your lecturer has granted an approved extension.Charles Sturt University Subject Outline MRS370 201730 W I-9 February 2017-Version 1 Page of 38 40 Penalties for Late Submission Assignments received more than two weeks after their due dates, without an extension having been granted, will be returned with no marks awarded. Any assessment item received after the conclusion of the session will not be awarded a mark except when complying with the conditions of a Grade Pending. Once assignments have been handed back after marking, no late assignments will be given a mark. Assessment items not submitted by the due date (i.e. stamped as received by CSU by the due date), without prior permission of the Subject Co-ordinator will be subject to a penalty by way of a reduction in the marks allocated. Pro-rata reductions in the awarded mark (5% per working day) will be made for items received late without a granted extension, which means: 1 week late; -35% 2 weeks late; -70% 3 weeks late; No Mark This refers to the percentage deducted before the assignment is marked. In fairness to students who do submit assignments before or on the due date, penalties for late submission will be strictly enforced. Students should note that it is essential to submit all assessment items (even if they earn no marks) to be considered for a pass grade in this subject. Resubmission Students cannot resubmit an assignment that has already been given a grade or a mark. Failing an assignment is NOT grounds for resubmission. Online Submission All on-line submission is via EASTS. Postal Submission Only assessment items 2 and 6, the Clinical Workbooks will be accepted via postal submission.

Additional Submission Information This subject is open to Additional Assessment, as described in detail in Assessment Regulation 8 of the University Handbook. Ensure you understand the meaning of the non-substantive grades, AA and AE. Feedback Assessment at CSU is ‘criterion-referenced’ and ‘standards-based’ where students' work is assessed against stated criteria that reflect the expected learning outcomes of the course and subject. 'Scaling' and 'norm-referencing' as previously used in assessing student performance are no longer used. As feedback from your assessment items, you will be supplied with a marking 'rubric' which will indicate what performance standards you have achieved for each marking criterion. See the rubrics provided for each assessment item (under 'Assessment Items'). Students are welcome to discuss feedback with the subject coordinator when a suitable time can be arranged. Assignment Return You should normally expect your marked assignment to be despatched/returned to you within three weeks of the due date, if your assignment was submitted on time. If an assignment is submitted on time but not returned by the return date, you should make enquiries in the first instance to the subject coordinator. If the subject coordinator is not available, contact Student Central on 1800 275 278. Student Feedback and Learning Analytics Evaluation of Subjects CSU values constructive feedback and relies on high response rates to Subject Experience Surveys (SES) to enhance teaching. Responses are fed back anonymously to Subject Coordinators and Heads of Schools to form the basis for subject enhancement and recognition of excellence in teaching. Schools report on their evaluation data; highlighting good practice and documenting how problems have been addressed. You can view a summary of survey results via the Student Portal SES Results (https://student.csu.edu.au/study/subject-experience-survey-results) page. We strongly encourage you to complete your online Subject Experience Surveys. You will be provided with links to your surveys via email when they open three [3] weeks before the end of session. Changes and actions based on previous student feedback The preparation of this subject has taken into account the feedback provided by student's Online Evaluations and direct communication with students. In response academic review of this subject by the MRS Discipline has sought to modify assessment to remove the end of session prac and written exam and to better weight the remaining assessment tasks. Feedback on PebblePad noted difficulty in navigating and engaging with the platform across all years; use of the the platform has been replaced by a requirement for EASTS submission for Assessment Items 1 and 5.Charles Sturt University Subject Outline MRS370 201730 W I-9 February 2017-Version 1 Page of 40 40 Learning analytics in this subject Learning Analytics refers to the collection and analysis of student data for the purpose of improving learning and teaching.
