First semester of first year covers the essential physics, mathematics and radiation protection principles underpinning radiography, the imaging methods for radiographic examinations of the upper and lower limbs and chest and the study of the psycho-social basis of illness and behaviour, patient care and communication skills - RAD1011 (Radiographic imaging and methods 1), RAD1021 (Radiologic physics) and RAD1041 (Professional skills 1). An introduction to the biological sciences and the study of the musculoskeletal system including surface anatomy, radiographic anatomy and radiographic pathology, is provided and relevant clinical practice is undertaken - RAD1031 (Radiologic biology 1) and RAD1051 (Clinical studies 1).
In second semester students complete the imaging methods for the appendicular skeleton and commence imaging methods for the axial skeleton - RAD1062 (Radiographic imaging and methods 2). The study of the musculoskeletal system is completed in RAD1082 (Radiologic biology 2) as is the study of the psycho-social basis of illness and behaviour, patient care and infection control in radiographic practice in RAD1092 (Professional skills 2). An introduction to radiation dosimetry and radiation biology is provided in RAD1072 (Radiographic dosimetry and safety). Revelant clinical experience is undertaken in RAD1102 (Clinical studies 2).
The subjects studied in first year employ a variety of teaching methods including:
A variety of assessment is undertaken in first year in both formal examinations and coursework. Many subjects hold end-of-semester examinations where a selection of multiple-choice questions, short-answer questions, calculations, longer essay-style questions and oral exams may be used by examiners. During their clinical studies students will be required to keep a record of their radiographic examinations, undertake a structured assessment of their clinical skills, complete a self-assessment exercise and a professional development learning contract.
