Application of theoretical thinking. Written and oral communication skills.
Students are normally engaged in a clinical case load in their day to day work. In this subject cases are discussed and students receive suggestions for improved clinical effectiveness. Students pursue issues of special interest to their own workplace and have access to the resources of the group in broadening their approach to particular clinical problems. Small group development continues to be a source of learning about the functioning of systems. Students are required to present reviews of recent books and are encouraged to publish and present materials at workshops and conferences. Students are also expected to keep a detailed journal of personal learnings and to be reaching a deeper stage of integration of their preferred clinical style. Each group also keeps a journal which incorporates the content and style of group and individual learnings. Each student is required to present a verbal and written report.
