Students will undertake, and be assessed on, authentic activities through engagement with industry and community partners.
Students undertake work in an off-campus or virtual environment which is focused on the student applying non-technical skills to meet a community need, supervised by an industry or community-based professional.
The unit comprises a series of lectures and tutorials on the aetiology, clinical aspects and nutritional management of selected diseases. Students engage extensively with industry through site visits and guest lecturers. Tutorials are interactive and involve collaborative, problem-based learning, to support development of clinical reasoning skills. This unit helps to prepare students for their placement in NUT6109 Individual Case Management Placement and Evaluation.
