Description for 2020/21

The aim of this module is to enable students to evaluate complex traumatic conditions and pathologies related to the human body with consideration of the examination referral in the context of the care pathway, and to comment on these in line with the required professional and graduate attributes.

Aims

The aim of this module is to enable students to evaluate and comment on complex traumatic conditions and pathologies related to the human body with consideration of the examination referral in the context of the care pathway.

Intended Learning Outcomes

evaluate the appropriateness of imaging requests related to the progression and consolidation of pathologies and trauma
: 1,2,3,4
compare and evaluate complex trauma and pathologies using appropriate database search strategies: 4
accurately communicate radiographic findings in a variety of formats
: 1,2,3,4
systematically analyse plain film images to describe, recognise and comment on the radiographic appearances of complex traumatic and pathological processes affecting the human body: 1,2,3,4

Study hours

Lectures, seminars and image viewing sessions will make use of a blended approach. Students will continue their learning while on clinical placement, so that theoretical concepts and knowledge can be applied to clinical practice. Formative assessment will support learning and understanding both academically and in the clinical environment.
It is anticipated that study hours will include approximately 83 hours of practice experience. This is derived from a total of 413 hours, averaged across five of the six assessed modules in year 3 (excludes Professional Development 3).

Description of Module Assessment

1: Exam weighted 100%
Image based short answer examination - 2 hours length
Image based short answer examination - 2 hours long. Exam is made up of compulsory cases - to include plain film imaging and clinical indications for student interpretation. This examination assesses the student's ability to determine the appropriateness of imaging requests related to progression and consolidation of pathologies and trauma, describe and recognise the radiographic appearances of complex traumatic and pathological processes, and communicate radiographic findings.

2: Portfolio weighted 0%
Portfolio B: Radiographic Competency
Assesses those aspects of student competency mapped against the intended learning outcomes of this module: with reference to assessment of specific radiographic practice competencies undertaken during Practice Experience.

3: Portfolio weighted 0%
Portfolio C: Clinical Assessment Competency
Assesses those aspects of student competency mapped against the intended learning outcomes of this module: with reference to the mandatory clinical assessments undertaken during Practice Experience. Year 3 competencies: theatre, CT head, adaptation of technique (non ambulant - minimum 2 anatomical areas demonstrating significant case complexity).

4: Portfolio weighted 0%
Portfolio E: Oral Examination 40 mins
Assesses those aspects of student knowledge and application mapped against the intended learning outcomes of this module: with reference to abdomen, simple trauma (appendicular including shoulder & hips) and mobile imaging undertaken by the student during Practice Experience.
