Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
This course reviews the general principles for managing headache in primary care, which are applicable to all types of headache, with customisation of treatments to each subtype. Students will be expected to incorporate knowledge and skills obtained during previous muddles through the use of an inline patient panel. Students will: Develop their scientific and cultural understanding of headache medicine; confidently diagnose patients with headache; have the skills necessary to allow complete autonomy in terms of patient management |
Assessment Information
Key principles that will underpin assessment activities are based upon current theory and practise. The principle of constructive alignment will underpin all assessments. This will ensure the assessment tasks are aligned with the specific course objectives, the content of the course and the teaching methods employed.
Online learning resources covering all the key background information will be provided for the student to work through at their own pace. Initial online learning sessions will include small formative assessments where the student will receive instant feedback on their contribution, enabling effective monitoring of progress. The student will begin to develop writing skills through formative assessments during online tutorial sessions.
The summative component consists of the following:
20% short answer questions;
20% online discussion
30% patient panel ¿ management report
30% critical essay
This will encourage critical analysis of the course material and subject, and will allow the application of knowledge gained during the module in order to contextualise the material learned.
