CLINICAL PRACTICE MENTAL HEALTH

1. RUNNING ASSESSMENT – 30% 

A new feature of the curriculum requires the programme to conduct a series of formative assessments that measure students' acquisition of the identified knowledge and mastery of skills throughout their course of study in the program. This will be achieved by assessing students’ competencies in two clinical procedures using Running Assessment approach. The assessment should evaluate students’ clinical proficiency including communication, critical thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving skills. 

Thus, during clinical placement you will be evaluated on your clinical competency using Running Assessment approach based on any TWO selected procedures from your ‘log book’ (Course Kit). Your clinical preceptor will be the assessor. He / she will identify the procedures based on the availability of cases, appropriateness of time and situation of the clinical area. The assessor will inform you at least one day prior to the assessment date so that you can prepare and be ready for the test. 

Students are expected to incorporate cognitive skills and clinical education experiences in this particular discipline that is Clinical PracticeMental Health. Additionally, students should be able to identify, analyze, synthesize, and apply knowledge and skills learned over time, on a cumulative basis. The Code of Ethics should be conformed throughout the assessments.
