The programme will be delivered in a case-based, practical-oriented learning and teaching style, emphasizing application of theory to practice, clinical reasoning, and physiotherapy knowledge and skills. Inquiry and project-based, active learning and teaching methods will be used to facilitate critical thinking and independent learning.

 

Academic knowledge will be consolidated during five, five-week clinical practicums placed in District Health Board or private practice clinical settings, under supervision of registered physiotherapists.

 

Academic and clinical practicum courses will be delivered sequentially across both years of study, to support translation of knowledge and skills to clinical practice. Academic courses must be passed prior to undertaking an associated clinical practicum.
