Dear Colleagues

We are looking for tutors with a health related and/or science degree for the undergraduate medical program units Foundations of Clinical Practice for 2009.

Foundations of Clinical Practice (FCP) are a series of units in the first three years of the undergraduate medical course. The units cover an integrated program with four disciplines involved – Population Health, Behavioural Science, Aboriginal Health, and clinical skills (this is taught by other tutors). Each discipline is covered each year, with a different emphasis in each of the years.

Year 1 FCP - Tutorial Sessions
The emphasis in this year is to give students an overview of Australia’s health, the determinants of health and study vulnerable populations including exploring culture and health. The students also study cardiovascular health, respiratory disease and communicable disease control with each topic exploring the relevant issues. People with a health related degree would be suitable for this tutoring.

Year 1 FCP – Communication Skills
In Year 1 the students also go through an introductory program in communications skills; therefore we are looking for tutors with a psychology background for this series of tutorials.

Year 2 FCP – Tutorial Sessions
In this year the students study epidemiology, evidence based practice and research methods, lifespan development, preventive medicine, musculoskeletal disease, mental health, substance use and chronic disease management. Other topics surround eating disorders (anorexia and obesity), injury control and diabetes.

We have four modules each semester and they cover the following systems – cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, chronic illness, psychiatry/neurology, musculoskeletal, paediatrics and haematology. There is a variety of issues that are explored in each module.

The tutorials utilise a case-based or problem-based learning approach. Training in this teaching method will be provided before commencement. Tutors are not required to experts in all of these subject areas as appropriate tutor training and support materials are provided and the tutorial are about facilitating learning. However a broad health related and/ or science background is an advantage.

The tutorials are held on the following days in semester 1:
Year 1 - Monday afternoons
Year 1 (Communication skills) – Thursday afternoons, Friday
