Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Subject Coordinator, Dr Leigha Dark, wanted first year students to engage in an authentic task relating to their future profession. The students were asked to prepare a poster educating the community about one of a range of speech pathology practice areas. The poster will be showcased to a hypothetical community audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n View the case study Engaging Speech Pathology Students with an Authentic Task<\/a> (PDF – opens in a new tab)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Professor Stephen Tobin | Associate Dean<\/p>\n\n\n\n School of Medicine<\/p>\n\n\n\n Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To assist with final year medicine student hands-on assessment during the COVID crisis, and to enable these students to be part of a supplementary medical workforce, entrustable professional activities (EPAs) were developed as assessment tasks. These consisted of tasks that junior doctors in hospitals do, and were implemented for volunteer final year students under supervision. Eportfolio software was used to keep a record of activities and supervisor feedback. This authentic assessment task provided a structure to facilitate feedback and continual improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n View the Smartphones and EPAs for Final Year Medical Students resource<\/a> (PDF – opens in a new tab)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr Paul Stoodley | Senior Lecturer <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n School of Medicine (Blacktown Clinical School and Research Centre)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Final year students in the Master of Clinical Sonography complete a clinical sonography research project in their capstone unit.
