MBHT5005 Evidence and Ethics in Metabolic Health Credit points: 6 Teacher/Coordinator: Prof Stephen Twigg Session: Semester 2 Classes: Intensive on campus (2 days 9am-5pm) and Weekly online lecturette, tutorial and discussion (from week 5) Assessment: 1 x 1,500-2,000 wd ethics assignment (20%) and 4x ethics discussion board posts (10%) and 1x 3,000-4,000 wd critical appraisal work (60%) Participation in online discussion (10%). Pre-requisites:  CEPI5100 and 18 credit points of stream specific units of study

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.

MDMP5126 MD Project Development 1 Credit points:2 Teacher/Coordinator: Professor Michael Frommer Session: Semester 2 Classes: Lectures, seminars, tutorials, on-line learning tasks. Corequisites: MDMP5122 and MDMP5123 and MDMP5124 and MDP5125 Assessment: This will comprise: (a) effective participation in small-group learning sessions, (b) satisfactory completion of online learning tasks, (c) completion of an exercise comprising the preparation of a proposal for a descriptive clinical study, and (d) submission of a proposal for a feasible and acceptable MD Project proposal. Mode of delivery: Normal (lecture/lab/tutorial) day
By the end of the course, students will be expected to have completed a comprehensive proposal for their MD Project. At the start of the course, students will be asked to outline their previous research experience (if any). On the basis of this, they will be triaged to learn about a range of research methods used in medicine, with particular emphasis on the type of investigation that they choose for their MD Project.They will also gain an understanding of the principles of health and medical research ethics.
