This supervised clinical practicum course is designed to produce graduates with demonstrated ability to competently undertake safe and autonomous therapeutic management of patients, including the ability to design, implement and monitor appropriate management programmes. The course aims also to equip graduates with the skills to adapt to changes in the scope of therapeutic practice and to work in an integrated way with other health professionals.
