Introduction to the Health Profession (Physiotherapy)

This introductory unit orientates students to the Physiotherapy profession through a range of learning activities, including an introduction to clinicians and case-based learning focussing on common movement problems. Students will learn about the professional framework that guides Physiotherapy practice in Australia. They will also learn about how the profession links to and engages with a range of other health disciplines. Students will begin to apply these frameworks whilst developing problem solving and communication skills relevant to the identity of a future health professional.
