This module enables students to begin to develop their clinical reasoning skills when working with people with a range of medical conditions, pathologies, social and cultural challenges. Drawing on information from first semester modules, this module will enable students to consider an appropriate, theoretically-sound assessment for case-study individuals. The module involves keynote lectures, problem-based learning and workshops where students will develop the required knowledge and skills. This module is assessed with a presentation of the proposed occupational therapy assessment strategy and individualised goals as if to a multi-disciplinary team meeting.

This module will be assessed through two summative assessment components, each of 50%. Students must achieve an aggregate mark of 40% to pass this module. The assessment includes a presentation of the proposed occupational therapy assessment strategy, individualised goals and the underpinning theory for a case study, chosen from a range provided, as if to a multi-disciplinary team meeting and the submission of the powerpoint presentation with accompanying notes (equivalent of 1,500 words). This will be either on campus or via virtual delivery
