This capstone unit of study will develop the ethical and critical thinking needed to inform and mature best practice and is divided into three parts: commencing with an introduction to key ethical concepts and methods of ethical analysis relevant to health care practice and research; followed by learning about the key research and major milestones that informs the practice of evidence-based metabolic medicine and health care. Subsequently, students will critically appraise either the evidence base for an area of practice relevant to their workplace, or key sections of a high level (NHMRC or equivalent) clinical care guideline; this will require a literature review. Textbooks: Online readings

PMED5051 Leadership in Medicine Credit points: 6 Teacher/Coordinator: Mike Jenner Session: Semester 2 Classes: Week 1 conf call (90mins), 1x2 day compulsory intensive on campus (9am-8pm day1, 9am-5pm day2), 1x1 exam day compulsory intensive on campus (9am-5pm), approx 8 hours/week (x 13 weeks) engaging in online interactions and self-directed learning activities.  Assessment: Team Project Presentation (25%), Individual Skills (10%), Written Feedback (15%), Other written submissions (5x5%= 25%), weekly Online Participation (15%), Face-to-Face Participation (10%)

Leadership is behavioural. A leader’s effectiveness is determined by the behaviours they consistently manifest across time rather than the inventory of concepts they have in their head. This course’s orientation is behavioural: what does best practice medical leadership look like and how can you get better at doing it? The course engages with the question of what makes an individual influential. Students graduate with an understanding of the concepts centrally underpinning the influencing process, but more importantly with elevated skills at individual components of influencing, and an appreciation of, and practice at adopting, the mindsets necessary to be maximally influential in a medical setting.Topics covered include building self awareness, the development process, self-management, managing difference, best practice communication (setting expectations, listening, motivating, giving and receiving feedback, confronting, conflict resolution), effective networking, building productive relationships and driving engagement. Textbooks:Nil.  Required readings will be provided.
