Subject outline
You will attend 10 days of clinic in an adult or paediatric setting. This may be through the La Trobe Communication Clinic or at an external facility. The placement will usually take place 2 days per week over 5 weeks, with an intensive option for 4-5 days per week over 3 weeks in January. You will begin to refine the clinical skills acquired over the previous two semesters, applying these more independently as the subject progresses. You will develop clinical skills related to particular work settings and develop their clinical management skills further. You are expected to reach intermediate level on the COMPASS assessment by the end of the subject. In addition to clinical placement, you will also complete online learning modules, each with an associated hurdle assessment. You are required to attend the subject orientation and a Professional Competency Portfolio workshop (both held in week 6).
