Description

This unit provides students with both the theoretical and practical skills required for clinical assessment and exercise prescription related to metabolic, immunologic, and hematologic conditions. Students are taught the pathophysiology of metabolic, immunologic, and hematologic conditions, applicable diagnostic techniques and medical treatment, patient assessment, exercise prescription, and associated exercise responses.

Non Standard Timetable Requirements

Lectures, tutorials, laboratories.

Prerequisite Rule

Students must pass 1 units from SPS3301

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Demonstrate ability to prescribe exercise as a therapeutic modality for individuals with common metabolic, immunological, and hematological conditions.
  2. Demonstrate the ability to assess patients with common metabolic, immunological, and hematological conditions.
  3. Describe the effects of common medical treatment and rehabilitation for common metabolic, immunological, and hematological conditions.
  4. Explain the diagnostic techniques and treatment procedures used in the treatment of these common metabolic, immunological, and hematological conditions.
  5. Explain the pathophysiology for common metabolic, immunological, and hematological conditions.

Unit Content

  1. Pathophysiology of metabolic, immunologic, and hematologic conditions.
  2. Medical treatment options for metabolic, immunologic, and hematologic conditions.
  3. Evidence base and clinical reasoning for clinical assessment for patients with metabolic, immunologic, and hematologic conditions.
  4. Evidence base and clinical reasoning for exercise prescription for patients with metabolic, immunologic, and hematologic conditions.

Additional Learning Experience Information

Unit plan, lectures and laboratory work. Supported by online resources.

Assessment

GS1 GRADING SCHEMA 1 Used for standard coursework units

Students please note: The marks and grades received by students on assessments may be subject to further moderation. All marks and grades are to be considered provisional until endorsed by the relevant Board of Examiners.

Due to the professional competency skill development associated with this Unit, student attendance/participation within listed in-class activities is compulsory. Students failing to meet participation standards as outlined in the unit plan may be awarded an I Grade (Fail - incomplete). Students who are unable to meet this requirement for medical or other reasons must seek the approval of the unit coordinator.
