The unit is designed to provide students with industry, community and/or research experience. Students will be provided an opportunity to work for 3-6 weeks on a project either individually or in teams. Students will demonstrate conduct and professional practice including documentation and reporting on their experiences within the boundaries of the scope of practice of Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs). Learning in a work environment is a key feature of this unit of study. Students will be allocated to a project for between 15 and 37.5 hours per week for up to SIX weeks. Activities will include interactions with various clientele and stakeholders as well as other activities. The types of activities will vary from project to project but may include orientation meetings, project planning, report writing, presentations, etc., as directed by the project supervisor. This experience does not count towards any aspects of the clinical placement required in the course but is instead aimed at developing the student's project planning and implementation skills and broadening their perspective on current and future roles and scope of exercise physiology practice. Projects are mostly within the Sydney Metropolitan area. Some projects may be located outside this area or in another state or territory in Australia and will be clearly indicated. Students are expected to cover the costs for travel, accommodation and incidentals during project.
