Learning outcomes are what students know, understand and are able to do on completion of a unit of study. They are aligned with the University's graduate qualities and are assessed as part of the curriculum.

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:

LO1. MD Project - Formulate a research question, hypothesis, or issue for investigation
LO2. MD Project - Appraise the ethical issues pertaining to the project
LO3. MD Project - Identify, obtain, and integrate existing knowledge relevant to the research question or hypothesis
LO4. MD Project - Organise and conduct a research project
LO5. Understand the therapeutic nature of the patient-doctor relationship and the impact on that relationship of the individual characteristics of both patient and doctor in the context of Child and Adolescent Health (CAH), Perinatal and Women’s Health (PWH), Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine (PAAM), and Critical Care (CC).
LO6. Listen and identify issues of concern to patients, families, and carers and respond to those concerns, using whatever means are necessary for effective communication in the context of Child and Adolescent Health (CAH), Perinatal and Women’s Health (PWH), Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine (PAAM), and Critical Care (CC).
LO7. Elicit and interpret clinical symptoms and signs by interviewing and examining patients systematically and with sensitivity, and use this information to guide further investigations and the inital management in the context of Child and Adolescent Health (CAH), Perinatal and Women’s Health (PWH), Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine (PAAM), and Critical Care (CC).
LO8. Perform important clinical procedures in the context of Child and Adolescent Health (CAH), Perinatal and Women’s Health (PWH), Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine (PAAM), and Critical Care (CC).
LO9. Demonstrate ethical behaviour in meeting the needs of patients and families - concern for confidentiality and respect for individual autonomy, enabling patients and their families to make informed decisions in relation to their medical care in the context of Child and Adolescent Health (CAH), Perinatal and Women’s Health (PWH), Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine (PAAM), and Critical Care (CC).
LO10. Demonstrate understanding of the structure and function of most body systems (e.g., musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory) in the context of Child and Adolescent Health (CAH), Perinatal and Women’s Health (PWH), Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine (PAAM), and Critical Care (CC).
LO11. Apply an understanding of normal and abnormal human structure, function and behaviour to the diagnosis, management, and prevention of health problems in the context of Child and Adolescent Health (CAH), Perinatal and Women’s Health (PWH), Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine (PAAM), and Critical Care (CC).
LO12. Use the best available evidence on outcomes to prevent or cure disease, relieve symptoms, or minimise disability and analyse clinical data and published work to determine their validity and generality in the context of Child and Adolescent Health (CAH), Perinatal and Women’s Health (PWH), Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine (PAAM), and Critical Care (CC).
LO13. Participate in the generation, interpretation, application, and dissemination of significant advances in medical knowledge whilst recognising the limits of scientific knowledge and understanding in the context of Child and Adolescent Health (CAH), Perinatal and Women’s Health (PWH), Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine (PAAM), and Critical Care (CC).

Graduate qualities

The graduate qualities are the qualities and skills that all University of Sydney graduates must demonstrate on successful completion of an award course. As a future Sydney graduate, the set of qualities have been designed to equip you for the contemporary world.

GQ1	Depth of disciplinary expertise Deep disciplinary expertise is the ability to integrate and rigorously apply knowledge, understanding and skills of a recognised discipline defined by scholarly activity, as well as familiarity with evolving practice of the discipline.
GQ2	Critical thinking and problem solving Critical thinking and problem solving are the questioning of ideas, evidence and assumptions in order to propose and evaluate hypotheses or alternative arguments before formulating a conclusion or a solution to an identified problem.
GQ3	Oral and written communication Effective communication, in both oral and written form, is the clear exchange of meaning in a manner that is appropriate to audience and context.
