In clinical practice sessions, students are required to demonstrate application of theory to clinical practice in assessment, intervention and evaluation of therapy. Students receive 1:1 (and possibly small group) supervision on placement by experienced clinical educators. Students receive an initial clinical induction tutorial and a support tutorial in semester 1 with additional tutorials to support preparation for the unseen viva.
The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners

Clinical Evaluation Report is completed by the Clinical Educator. It is a competency based assignment related to professional and statutory standards of proficiency. The unseen clinical viva provides an opportunity to demonstrate the relationship between theory and practice, applying theory to an unseen case in order to provide a communication profile, plan assessment and intervention and convey information to a carer. The written case report provides the student with opportunity to demonstrate written skill in conveying clinical and related theoretical information.
