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. describe the signs, symptoms, prognosis, and healthcare management of common conditions for which an adult may present to hospital
LO2. demonstrate how to administer, score, and appraise common assessments and outcome measures used by occupational therapists in acute hospital, and/or rehabilitation settings
LO3. explain common policies and procedures which occupational therapists (and students) must comply with when working in acute hospital settings (e.g. OHS, manual handling, infection control, falls prevention, end-of-life care)
LO4. describe factors which need to be considered when planning intervention and hospital discharge (e.g. prognosis, available support), and which may affect a person’s ability to manage their occupations and roles post-discharge
LO5. develop an occupational therapy intervention plan (including assessments, outcome measures where appropriate, goals, and intervention) to help inpatients prepare for hospital discharge
LO6. describe the role of a student occupational therapist in a hospital setting
LO7. locate and interpret research about the effect of interventions used in hospital settings
LO8. demonstrate (under supervision) safe practice and beginning competency in patient mobility/transfer skills.

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.
GQ4	Information and digital literacy Information and digital literacy is the ability to locate, interpret, evaluate, manage, adapt, integrate, create and convey information using appropriate resources, tools and strategies.
GQ5	Inventiveness Generating novel ideas and solutions.

In the Australian context, this includes and celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, knowledge systems, and a mature understanding of contemporary issues.
GQ7	Interdisciplinary effectiveness Interdisciplinary effectiveness is the integration and synthesis of multiple viewpoints and practices, working effectively across disciplinary boundaries.
GQ8	Integrated professional, ethical, and personal identity An integrated professional, ethical and personal identity is understanding the interaction between one’s personal and professional selves in an ethical context.
