Complex case management

21 April 2009

Developed by: 
Bridget O'Connor and Rosemary Corrigan
Institution: 
Charles Sturt University
Teaching and Learning Strategy: 

The teaching and learning strategy revolves around the students using problem solving techniques to develop knowledge in key clinical areas. This knowledge is developed through group interaction and individual learning founded on keystone lectures that are provided at the commencement of each module. Learning issues that are developed by each group provide the evolutionary structure and timeframes for the learning process in each group to occur. The collaborative tutorial times enable the educators to provide minimal but directed input where required but in essence the learning is driven by the students
