Description
This subject is the capstone clinical practicum, designed to transition students into independent, workforce-ready Accredited Exercise Physiologists. This unit requires students to demonstrate autonomy in managing complex, multi-morbid caseloads across both internal and external placement sites. Students complete 180 hours of advanced practice, focusing on high-level clinical reasoning, interprofessional collaboration, and service leadership. Moving beyond basic competence, this unit emphasises quality improvement and data-driven practice. The curriculum also addresses the business and operational realities of healthcare, including Medicare frameworks, "billable hours," and advocating for the role of Accredited Exercise Physiologists within multidisciplinary teams.
