OPN263 Clinical Practice 2

This unit continues clinical optometric practice in the primary care area within the Optometry Clinic of the QUT Health Clinics. Through clinical practice, students will further develop specific problem solving strategies, and further develop problem specific examination techniques, reinforcing and refining clinical skills developed in previous units. This unit continues the transfer of theoretical and practical skills to the clinical situation. Students will take on a gradually increasing responsibility for clinical decision making and management and begin demonstrating strategies that enable ongoing self-reflective, culturally safe practice in a professional context.
