Content

This unit will provide students with an opportunity to undertake a fieldwork experience within clinical exercise physiology scope of practice. Each student's fieldwork experience will be supervised by Exercise and Sport Science Australia (ESSA) accredited exercise physiologist, a university-trained allied health professional (e.g. registered physiotherapist) or an Exercise Scientist with appropriate experience working with clients with chronic disease. Field experiences are intended to provide students with opportunities to develop skills and knowledge in clinical exercise physiology to enhance their professional development and vocation potential.

To complement the collaborative practice skills developed during their fieldwork experience, students will participate in an interprofessional education (IPE) module as part of the Faculty of Health's Collaborative Practice Curriculum. In this module, students will participate in simulated practice activities in interprofessional teams with students from clinical courses across the Faculty of Health. They will work with these teams online to develop relevant team documents for complex cases.
