Students who successfully complete this course should be able to:
1. Describe and apply profession specific diagnostic radiography practice and procedures for the regions being covered which includes the axial skeleton, and the pelvic and shoulder girdles. Consideration is given to patient presentations such as Trauma, Paediatrics, Geriatrics, Mobile and Theatre Radiography in addition to higher modality instrumentation such as Computed Tomography, MRI, Ultrasound, Fluoroscopy and Digital Imaging.
2. Further develop clinical reasoning skills with regard to patient management and image evaluation which reflects the understanding of the clinical history and/or the impact on differential diagnosis to ensure the appropriate imaging pathway.
3. Further develop their knowledge of mechanisms of injury and/or the causes of disease processes on varying patient presentations
4. Identify key imaging anatomy/surface anatomy to continue development of pattern recognition skills so as to identify radiographic pathology
5. Continue to develop communication skills (written & oral)
6. Further develop critical reasoning skills through the use of structured critical appraisal approach
7. Further develop information technology skills by conducting a literature search using all major information technologies
8. Further develop and apply self learning skills
9. Reflect on & evaluate personal & peer contribution to the learning process via formal self & peer assessment.
