Offer 1 with catalog number 1018113CNR for all students in the 1st and 2nd semester at a (C) Bachelor - specialised level.
This is a cross-curricular course that mainly focuses on the development of interprofessional and intercultural/international competencies in students. This course is part of the learning line 'interprofessional education within health care' in which various health care educational programs of VUB and EhB are involved and collaborate in different projects throughout the academic year.
In addition, we prepare students for the clinical internships part I (2nd semester 3BARE) in the broader context of the profession and in particular the clinical reasoning process.
This course is organized as project teaching. For each project, participation is mandatory. For some projects, students need to register on time and correctly according to the guidelines (communicated via Canvas). If a student does not register on time or correctly, he/she can no longer participate in a certain project and this is considered an illegal absence.
Guidelines, deadlines and arrangements will be communicated through Canvas.
- The student is able to engage in independent clinical reasoning and can demonstrate this through clinical cases with a variety of conditions.
- The student masters the Intercultural (ICOMs) and/or interprofessional competencies (as described in the model of Hogeschool Zuyd, NL).
- The student is aware of and able to independently communicate current themes within physical therapy (and by extension health care) at the level of the patient and within an interprofessional team.
- The student is able to independently take on the role of manager within an interprofessional team (cfr the interprofessional competences in the model of Hogeschool Zuyd, NL).
- The student is able to independently search for and process evidence on current topics within physical therapy (and by extension health care).
The student can
- function in a multidisciplinary team.
- supports other professionals in the interprofessional team, thereby contributing to maximum achievable positive impact on individual patient care.
- can deal with differences, misunderstandings, contradictions and shortcomings of team members.
- fulfills own role in interprofessional teams to the satisfaction of team members.
- makes own data and/or facilities available to other professionals to optimize patient care.
- formulates care/treatment goals with the patient/family and other professionals.
- can reflect on own actions in interprofessional teams.
- can provide feedback to other team members in an appropriate and constructive manner.
The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
PRAC Practical Assignment determines 100% of the final mark.
Within the PRAC Practical Assignment category, the following assignments need to be completed:
If the student is unauthorized absent for at least one project, the student will receive 0/20 as an examination result in both sitting periods.
In case of a legitimate absence (the student must submit proof of the legitimate absence to the faculty secretary as described in the OER), the student must contact the titular of the course within the week following the project for remediation. If the student fails to do so, the absence will still be considered illegal.
Absences due to elite sports activities of the students with elite sports status should be coordinated with the Top Sport and Study Department at the beginning of the semester to provide a possible alternative date of WPO or substitute assignment.
Peer assessments will be used to establish the score for some projects. The result will be an individual adjustment factor. Such assessments should be completed in time, before the deadline (communicated through Canvas). If no peer assessment is completed by the deadline, an adjustment factor of 0.7 will automatically be assigned to the student who did not submit.
Some of the projects cannot be taken in second session time and no alternative assignment can be offered for these.
The partial result of an exam is automatically carried over to the second term if the result is at least 10/20. A student may not waive the automatic transfer of the partial result. A partial result of an examination part cannot be transferred to the next academic year.
In case of failing grades on certain components, i.e. a grade lower than 8/20, the weighted average is deviated and the lowest partial result counts as the examination result.
