Content
This unit will allow students to integrate and apply their knowledge from across the course. Students will participate in all aspects of speech pathology practice across two placements, each in a different service or setting.
Students will consolidate and demonstrate Professional conduct, Reflective practice and Speech pathology practice as outlined in the Professional Standards for Speech Pathologists in Australia.
These placements will support students to work towards autonomous professional practice and focus on integration of knowledge and skills. Students are expected to move towards independent responsibility for providing services and management of caseload/workload within the service.
Alongside placements, students will participate in tutorials that encompass case-based discussion and problem solving, focussing on transfer of knowledge and skills to complex cases. Across this unit, students will demonstrate that they are ready to enter the profession.
