This module is not approved as an Elective

Module summary

This module allows students to negotiate their academic and clinical learning via a learning contract which specifies a negotiated area of Diagnostic Imaging. Examples include MSK or vascular ultrasound. (if agreed by the programme/module team). This module provides the application of specific knowledge and a structure for practical skill development for the use of diagnostic imaging in the students’ specified area. This module allows the student to apply theoretical knowledge gained in the co-requisite modules

Objectives

On completion of this module students will be able to demonstrate mastery in acquiring and reporting diagnostic examinations as outlined within their learning contract. Examples include MSK, Breast and Vascular ultrasound

Learning outcomes
Demonstrate an in-depth, specialist knowledge of normal and abnormal appearances and techniques relevant to the area of practice outlined in the student’s learning contract
Demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of concepts, information and techniques at the forefront of Diagnostic Imaging practice
Critically and creatively evaluate current issues, research and evidence based practice relating to Diagnostic Imaging (CAHPR Research Practitioner's Framework, 2019; SCoR, 2016)
To take a proactive, self-reflective role in working and to develop professional relationships with others
Demonstrate effective decision making skills in complex and unpredictable situations
Reflect critically on practice and the role of medical ultrasound in the management of the Diagnostic Imaging patient

Skills outcomes

On completion of this module students will be able to
- Critically appraise an individual’s clinical need for appropriate imaging and select an appropriate technique
- Acquire, interpret and report appropriate imaging examinations competently
- Critically evaluate clinical and other relevant information to determine when additional examinations / procedures are required
- Critically evaluate ultrasound examinations for technical and diagnostic quality
- Assess and respond to an individual’s physical and psychological care needs during the imaging examination.

Private study

Private study to include: e-learning; literature searches, seminar and assessment preparation, independent supporting investigation & critical evaluation of patient-based case report for summative assessment; maintenance of clinical learning record. Clinical simulation

Opportunities for Formative Feedback

Students and their clinical mentors are encouraged to use the formative clinical and academic assessment process regularly throughout the module to develop self-assessment skills and to generate formative feedback identifying student progress and where additional learning and skill development is required.
Students will undertake a formative EDIE and will receive detailed feedback on their performance with advice re: how to improve.
Peer and tutor feedback also given in case study discussions, assessment preparation seminars/practicals and tutor feedback on draft assignments. 2 x formative clinical assessments
