Complementary Medicines in Contemporary Society

This course addresses how physical activity affects health status and the risks associated with chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, obesity, arthritis, and mental illness. Students will examine the physiological processes of common chronic conditions and how physical activity/exercise may need to be adapted to ensure that it can be completed safely in these populations. Students will also learn about behaviour change strategies for optimising lifelong adherence to physical activity/exercise.

Chronic Disease and Exercise Management

This subject provides a theoretical understanding of exercise and physical activity and their role in promoting health across the lifespan. Students will examine health data for different Australian populations and consider the implications for promoting health at individual and community levels. The course also explores evidence-based strategies and partnerships used in health promotion initiatives to encourage long-term engagement in physical activity and healthy living.

Exercise, Physical Activity and Health

The subject outlines the principles of cell and molecular biology as underpinnings of life and organism function. Topics covered include cell structure and function, the molecular aspects of the cell cycle and the molecular basis of genetics. Gene structure, the control of gene expression, regulation of gene function, molecular processes involved in protein synthesis and the role of genomics and of gene therapies in medicine will be examined.

Cellular and Molecular Biology

This subject will take a combined and systemic approach to the study of the structure and function of organ systems in the body during the lifecycle. This includes an introductory module about the organisation of the human body, body regions and specific organ systems. Modules will cover the anatomy, histology and physiology of organ systems responsible for the support and movement of the body and the maintenance of the body’s homeostasis (respiratory, circulatory, digestive and urinary systems). An online learning format will include lectures, laboratory sessions, online work and workshops.

Human Body 1

This subject provides learners with an opportunity to explore coaching and supervision models across the professions.The subject will address specific challenges facing clinical supervisors, particularly in relation to optimising teaching and learning in clinical settings. By exploring best practice, as leaders, the course considers principles that underpin effective mentoring and role modelling in the context of the clinical setting.

Coaching and Supervision in Health

This subject provides learners with the opportunities to explore knowledge, skills and attributes necessary for quality facilitation and learning in the health professions. The subject acknowledges the uniqueness of educating in health. Requiring specific pedagogical approaches and the need to embed certain types of knowledge and skills into practice.

Learning and Facilitation in Health Professional Education

This subject will enable students to learn how to write an individualised exercise program to meet those needs. Students will be shown the fundamentals of exercise prescription and delivery to provide a basic program for healthy individuals. Concepts of progression and program modification will be identified.

Fundamentals of Exercise Programming

This subject provides students with a theoretical understanding of human performance and exercise capacity across the lifespan. Students will examine common physical assessments, including strength, endurance, and fitness tests, and consider health risk factors related to exercise. The subject also explores how age, gender, and development influence exercise ability and motivation, and how physical activity affects growth and health. Principles of resistance and endurance training for children, adolescents, and older adults are discussed, alongside the physiological and developmental changes that occur across the lifespan.

Human Growth and Exercise Performance

This subject will explore the relationship between moral philosophy and applied ethics in professional life. Further, we study such issues as the relevance of ethics to specialisation, power and privilege in the professions, performance assessment, codes of ethics institutional values and corporate ethical culture. Specialist seminar topics may include: confidentiality, secrecy and truth telling in counselling; professional and management responsibility and accountability; dealing with power and authority, conflict resolution, performance assessment &amp; discipline.

Ethical Issues in Professional Life

In this subject students continue to engage with their professional practice project. Skills pertaining to the gathering, analysis, interpretation and dissemination of findings will be developed to a high standard. Students will provide a written and verbal research progress report and a final report in the format of a journal article for publication. The student will work with the course coordinator to publish key findings in peer reviewed journal articles.
