| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| The aim of the module is to enable the participant to develop to the required standard, clinical skills in the analysis, interpretation and evaluation of radiographs of the appendicular musculo-skeletal system in order to provide a diagnostic image report. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Clinically analyse, interpret and critically evaluate diagnostic image appearances of the Appendicular musculo-skeletal system to a specified accuracy level. |
| 2 | Through effective clinical reasoning, demonstrate synthesis and appropriate judgements in determining the outcomes and consequences of radiographic appearance. |
| 3 | Critically appraise and communicate radiological findings in a holistic manner relative to the clinical presentation of the patient. |
| 4 | Critically reflect on their performance in appendicular musculo-skeletal reporting in order to recognise their continuing professional development needs. |
