This unit 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.
Please note that there may be some modifications to the assessment schedule promoted in Handbook for Semester 1 2023 Units. All assessment changes will be published by 20th February 2023. All students are reminded to check the handbook at the beginning of semester to ensure they have the correct outline.
The goal of this unit is to enable students to conduct a focused and comprehensive, holistic health assessment identifying structure and function that is within normal parameters and the recognition of deviation from normal. Accordingly, this unit will enable the student to gain knowledge and skills in a range of topics necessary to conduct advanced, holistic health assessment. Students will be exposed to the knowledge, skills and techniques necessary to conduct advanced patient assessment that includes physical, mental health and cultural dimensions. To support learning, the theoretical and scientific foundations of health assessment will be addressed through a range of topics that include anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, patient interviewing, and diagnostic reasoning. This will enable the student to develop skills of interpretation and the recognition of clinical manifestations of disease in a variety of clinical settings and within diverse populations. The learning and teaching processes will encourage students to develop knowledge and skills by means of a multi-faceted, interactive approach.
There will be a mandatory two day on campus workshop for health assessment skills at the beginning of the semester and an Observed Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE) at the end of the semester in the simulation laboratories at ECU, Joondalup campus.
Only students studying course L88 can enrol in this unit; an exception may be made for students studying course I52 (subject to acceptance by the course coordinator).
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students will engage in learning experiences via ECU’s LMS as well as additional ECU learning technologies
Online tutorials, case studies, discussion forums and modules. Mandatory two day on campus workshop and final Observed Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE).

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry.

Students please note: The marks and grades received by students on assessments may be subject to further moderation. Informal vivas may be conducted as part of an assessment task, where staff require further information to confirm the learning outcomes have been met. All marks and grades are to be considered provisional until endorsed by the relevant School Progression Panel.
Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work as well as any generative artificial intelligence tools that may have been used. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people or generative artificial intelligence tools, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).
Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).
Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.
Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.
Students may apply for Special Consideration in respect of a final unit grade, where their achievement was affected by Exceptional Circumstances as set out in the Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000003318.
