Learning outcomes are what students know, understand and are able to do on completion of a unit of study. They are aligned with the University's graduate qualities and are assessed as part of the curriculum.

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:

LO1. demonstrate beginner competencies in communicating with patients and working in interdisciplinary clinical teams
LO2. understand professional communication and how it will impact on your role as a health professional
LO3. understand the importance of cultural safety in Physiotherapy
LO4. understand the components and conduct a patient history assessment and enter data in an electronic clinical record.
LO5. demonstrate ability to measure, appropriately record, and interpret joint range of motion, muscle strength, and functional performance
LO6. understand basic biomechanical concepts and solve simple biomechanical problems
LO7. demonstrate understanding of the assessment of the reliability of clinical measures
LO8. design and implement a research study to test reliability, and construct a research report
LO9. demonstrate understanding of, and apply, the steps of evidence-based practice (e.g. asking answerable clinical questions, critical appraisal) to evaluate published work on effects of physiotherapy treatments
LO10. understand the pathology and clinical presentation of common chronic musculoskeletal conditions presenting to physiotherapists: osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthritis
LO11. understand and practice motivational interviewing
LO12. understand considerations and devise exercise therapy for a person with osteoarthritis using evidence-based practice
LO13. demonstrate understanding of professional and ethical physiotherapy practice and comply with the standards of practice and professional behaviour of an AHPRA-registered physiotherapy student

Graduate qualities

The graduate qualities are the qualities and skills that all University of Sydney graduates must demonstrate on successful completion of an award course. As a future Sydney graduate, the set of qualities have been designed to equip you for the contemporary world.

GQ1	Depth of disciplinary expertise Deep disciplinary expertise is the ability to integrate and rigorously apply knowledge, understanding and skills of a recognised discipline defined by scholarly activity, as well as familiarity with evolving practice of the discipline.
GQ2	Critical thinking and problem solving Critical thinking and problem solving are the questioning of ideas, evidence and assumptions in order to propose and evaluate hypotheses or alternative arguments before formulating a conclusion or a solution to an identified problem.
GQ3	Oral and written communication Effective communication, in both oral and written form, is the clear exchange of meaning in a manner that is appropriate to audience and context.
GQ4	Information and digital literacy Information and digital literacy is the ability to locate, interpret, evaluate, manage, adapt, integrate, create and convey information using appropriate resources, tools and strategies.
GQ5	Inventiveness Generating novel ideas and solutions.
GQ6	Cultural competence Cultural Competence is the ability to actively, ethically, respectfully, and successfully engage across and between cultures. In the Australian context, this includes and celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, knowledge systems, and a mature understanding of contemporary issues.
GQ7	Interdisciplinary effectiveness Interdisciplinary effectiveness is the integration and synthesis of multiple viewpoints and practices, working effectively across disciplinary boundaries.
GQ8	Integrated professional, ethical, and personal identity An integrated professional, ethical and personal identity is understanding the interaction between one’s personal and professional selves in an ethical context.
GQ9	Influence Engaging others in a process, idea or vision.
