Approach to learning and assessment

This program aims to inspire, challenge, and motivate a sense of curiosity and discovery. You will experience a flexible learning environment that blends a high level of on-line presence with directed lectures, structured practical sessions, supportive tutorials, and small group work.  Several courses in the program are delivered online, rather than on-campus, and you are likely to find that other courses transition to online delivery as you progress through the program.

Assessment approach is multifaceted and progressive. While traditional forms such as examinations and assignments are used, in some areas a variety of practical assessment approaches are used to provide feedback as well as grading your level competency and skills. This may take the form of demonstration of practical skills on a model subject or a viva voce style oral examination.

In order to progress through the program there are some inherent requirements that you are assumed to possess. A list of these inherent requirements is available from the Program Co-ordinator. If you have a long term medical condition, disability, and/or other forms of disadvantage, it may be possible to negotiate various aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the Program Co-ordinator or the Equitable Learning Services  (https://www.rmit.edu.au/students/support-and-facilities/student-support/equitable-learning-services) if you would like to find out more.

If you have already developed areas of skill and knowledge included in this program (for example, through prior studies or work experience), you can apply for credit once you have enrolled in this program. There is information on the RMIT University website about how to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) at: http://www.rmit.edu.au/students/enrolment/credit/.

Work integrated learning

RMIT University is committed to providing you with an education that strongly links formal learning with professional or vocational practice. This activity is facilitated, supervised, and assessed by AHPRA registered practitioners. As a student enrolled in this RMIT University program you will:

• undertake and be assessed on structured activities that allow you to learn, apply, and demonstrate your professional or vocational practice;

• interact with industry and community when undertaking these activities;

• complete these activities in real work contexts or situations; and in addition

• these interactions and the work context provide a distinctive source of feedback to you to assist your learning.

Any or all of these aspects of a WIL experience may be real or in a simulated workplace environment.

You will practice techniques and diagnosis in a simulated clinical environment in the following courses:

• REHA2174 Osteopathic Theory and Practice 3;
• REHA2176 Osteopathic Theory and Practice 4;
• REHA2178 Osteopathic Theory and Practice 5;
• REHA2180 Osteopathic Theory and Practice 6;
• REHA2215 Occupational and adjunctive therapeutics;
• REHA2226 Systemic and Lifesyle Disease Management.

You will practice as a student osteopath, under supervision of AHPRA registered practitioners, in the following courses

• REHA2232 Osteopathic Clinical Practice 1;
• REHA2216 Osteopathic Clinical Practice 3;
• REHA2218 Advanced Clinical Theory & Practice;
• REHA2219 Osteopathic Clinical Practice 4;
• REHA2225 Osteopathic Practice Portfolio;
• REHA2214 Osteopathic Clinical Practice 2

There will also be an opportunity for external clinical placements, subject to availability.
