Overview
This final module gives the students an opportunity to explore and apply the clinical application of their knowledge to the physiology of the body. Again each system will be reviewed with students able to apply their knowledge.
Students will learn about the presentation, physiology, treatment and evaluation of a number of different conditions.
Assessment Strategy
-threshold -Category D (40%-49%): Basic factual information only based on teaching notes, generally accurate but with some errors or gaps.The difference between the marks reflects the knowledge gaps and the weaknesses of the argument.
-good -Category B (60%-69%):Comprehensive and accurate coverage, showing good use of teaching material and core readings. Is able to demonstrate good knowledge of human physiology and the structures that make up the body. Evidence of some wider reading. Materials largely based on module information.
-excellent -Category A (70%-100%):Has sophisticated knowledge of human physiology and the structures that make up the body. Very comprehensive and accurate coverage, indicating that the student has gone beyond the core readings and explored the topic in depth.Evidence of wider reading & critical thinking is required for A+ and A* marks.
-another level-Category C (50-59%):Reasonably comprehensive coverage, indicating generally accurate understanding, based on lecture material and some core readings.
Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrate an understanding of both normal and abnormal physiology
- Effectively demonstrate the ability to communicate pathophysiological changes due to disease
- Understand the importance of a disease process and the outcome of intervention
- Understand the therapeutic approach to underlying physiological dysfunction
