This course is designed to extend the skills and knowledge of health and exercise professionals who are currently working with individuals with a range of neurological conditions. Professionals may be occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech pathologists, rehabilitation nurses, rehabilitation physicians, dietitians, exercise physiologists or from other related professions. A unique feature of this course is the inclusion of a translation science unit, which outlines contemporary methods and processes underpinning research in the area of neural rehabilitation. Graduates will be able to select appropriate strategies for the facilitation of knowledge translation in a clinical environment.
This course information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester.
