PHTY71-600: Global Physiotherapy: Culture, Context and Practice

This subject focuses on developing and consolidating graduate competencies, consistent with profession-specific competency standards, including those relevant to international physiotherapy practice. The subject will emphasise the development of skills and behaviours that are essential for learning in a clinical practice environment. Students will explore physiotherapy practice from an international perspective, including consideration of inter-professional team roles across countries, and the effects of different cultural, political, economic, and physical environmental issues and priorities. They will undertake and reflect on a range of activities in a series of classroom-based sessions and an international excursion (or equivalent domestic experience). Learning activities will provide the opportunity to develop and demonstrate advanced-level cultural competency and professional leadership.
