3 INTRODUCTION This document presents a proposal for the introduction of a new combined masters course, entitled the Master of Health Science (Sports and Manipulative Physiotherapy). The proposed course will provide the opportunity for students to transfer from the current Master of Health Science (Sports Physiotherapy) or Master of Health Science (Manipulative Physiotherapy) to obtain a dual qualification. Both the Master of Health Science (Sports Physiotherapy) and Master of Health Science (Manipulative Physiotherapy) commenced in 2001 in the School of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Health Sciences. The previous programs were offered at postgraduate diploma level, with the option of converting to a Master of Applied Science after completion of further coursework. This course was extensively revised in the development of the current masters programs. The intention in offering this master degree in sports and manipulative physiotherapy is to meet a substantial need within the physiotherapy community. The nature of the professional caseload of physiotherapists working in musculoskeletal physiotherapy dictates that they require the knowledge and skills entailed in both qualifications. Therefore, a degree combining the two fields of speciality is already offered at another physiotherapy school (University of South Australia). Several other Schools of Physiotherapy (in Western Australia, Victoria and Queensland) have indicated an intention to introduce similar combined programs. In the recent review of both the Graduate Diploma of Applied Science (Sports Physiotherapy) and Graduate Diploma of Applied Science (Manipulative Physiotherapy) programs at the Faculty of Health Sciences, the curriculum was designed to facilitate the process of making the dual qualification possible. Common units of study were developed, to provide integration between the specialties. As the largest School of Physiotherapy in Australia, together with University of South Australia we are leading the move towards the combination of the two fields of specialty. In addition, the combined master degree will meet the needs of the professional association, be responding to the needs of physiotherapists in the field, and will remain competitive with the other School of Physiotherapy where the combined degree is currently offered. The professional association (Australian Physiotherapy Association) requires the completion of a masters degree in the field of specialty to be recognised as a titled expert in the field. Prior to 2000, the nomenclature of coursework degrees in the School of Physiotherapy was either Graduate Diploma or Master of Applied Science. -1-

4 1. Course Overview 1.1 Name of Course Master of Health Science (Sports and Manipulative Physiotherapy) 1.2 Nomenclature of the Award Master of Health Science (Sports and Manipulative Physiotherapy) Abbreviation: MHlthSc(Sports & ManipPhty) 1.3 Length of the Course and Modes of Offering One and a half years full-time, or equivalent. Part-time modes normally will be twice the length of the full-time mode. Students may be permitted to extend part-time enrolment up to a maximum of 5 years duration, with permission from the Head of School. As with other courses, students who meet course entry requirements will be able to enrol in units of study as non-award students, subject to the availability of places and resources. (See section 5.3). Although Graduate Diploma and Graduate Certificate awards will not be offered as enrolment options, these awards will be available, with approval from the Head of School, as early exit awards for students who do not complete the required 48 credit points. A Graduate Diploma of Health Science (Physiotherapy) will be awarded for the completion of at least 36 credit points, while a Graduate Certificate of Health Science (Physiotherapy) will be awarded for the completion of at least 24 credit points. Students wishing to enrol in the Master of Health Science (Sports and Manipulative Physiotherapy) degree, who cannot meet the entry criteria, will be required to undertake a qualifying program. 1.4 Master of Health Science (Sports and Manipulative Physiotherapy) Honours MHlthSc(Sports&ManipPhty)Hon As with other Master degree programs within the School and Faculty, students can transfer to a Master of Health Science (Sports and Manipulative Physiotherapy) Honours, provided they have successfully completed the Master of Health Science (Sports and Manipulative Physiotherapy) pass degree at a level deemed to be of sufficient merit by the School. 2. Content and Purpose 2.1 Content The content and structure of the program will enable students to study specialised as well as general areas. Each individual program, i.e. Master of Health Science (Sports Physiotherapy) or (Manipulative Physiotherapy) will consist of 8 units of study each valued at 6-credit points. The 8 units of study will comprise 3 units that will be common to all School of Physiotherapy coursework programs, and 5 units of study that will be specific to the area of study undertaken. The 3 common units of study are Evaluation and Research in Physiotherapy Practice, Advanced Functional Anatomy and Biomechanics, and Physiological and Cognitive Bases of Clinical Practice. The 5 specialty units of study will comprise 3 academic units -2-

5 and 2 clinical units. For the combined degree, students must complete a further 30 credit points in the alternate specialty, consisting of clinical and academic units of study (Tables 4-6). For the outline of the course see page 9, and for descriptions of units of study see page Purpose of the Program The purpose of the program is to meet the needs of physiotherapists working in musculoskeletal clinical practice where advanced clinical reasoning and advanced therapeutic treatment skills are required for the comprehensive management of the complex cases that present or are referred to these experts. 2.3 Similar Programs Within the University or Elsewhere A combined sports and manipulative physiotherapy master degree by coursework is currently offered by one other School of Physiotherapy in Australia. The University of South Australia offers the Master of Physiotherapy (Sports and Advanced Manipulative Physiotherapy). However, Curtin University and the Universities of Queensland and Melbourne are currently planning a combined course. The University of Sydney is seen as a leader in the field of musculoskeletal physiotherapy, and has been consulted in the development of the other courses. 3. Rationale for the Program 3.1 Rationale for Introducing the Program The combined degree is being offered to meet the needs expressed by musculoskeletal physiotherapists during the review of both the Sports and Manipulative Physiotherapy programs. The degree was designed to encourage discussion and exchange of ideas between the two groups of students. An additional benefit is that the combined degree allows for more efficient use of human and institutional resources. 3.2 Need and Student Demand for the Program A need for the program has been expressed by both Australian and overseas physiotherapists. Several local graduates of the individual programs have returned to complete the alternate program indicating that there is a demand in the Australian physiotherapy community for specialisation in both fields. The combined degree will also be attractive to overseas students, because it can be obtained after 18 months full-time study, thus minimising administrative and personal inconvenience. -3-

6 4. Admission 4.1 Admission Requirements To qualify for admission to this program conducted by the School of Physiotherapy, applicants will: a) Possess an award of Bachelor of Applied Science (Physiotherapy) from the Cumberland College of Health Sciences or from The University of Sydney; or b) Possess an award of Bachelor of Science with a major in Anatomy from the University of New South Wales, or its equivalent, and a Graduate Diploma in Physiotherapy from Cumberland College of Health Sciences; or c) Possess such qualifications as are deemed to be equivalent to (a) and/or (b); or d) Other evidence of academic, general and/or professional qualifications as will satisfy the School of Physiotherapy that the applicant possesses the educational preparation and capacity to pursue graduate studies. The successful applicant will have at least two years clinical experience in musculoskeletal physiotherapy and demonstrate continuing education within the field of sports or manipulative physiotherapy. 4.2 Selection Criteria and Selection Process The selection process will involve a review of the applicant s ability to meet the admission requirements and consideration of the available places in the program. 4.3 Credit Transfer For new enrolments, credit transfer will follow the existing Faculty policy as outlined in the Faculty of Health Sciences Handbook. Students must complete the prescribed 48-credit point program in Sports Physiotherapy or Manipulative Physiotherapy before transferring to the combined degree program. The combined degree will require the completion of additional credit points that complement the previous degree (Tables 2-4). In other words, those who have completed the requirements of the Master of Health Science (Manipulative Physiotherapy) will complete units of study to expand their Sports Physiotherapy knowledge and skills, and vice versa. Students who have had the degree of Master of Health Science (Sports Physiotherapy) or (Manipulative Physiotherapy) conferred but elect to return to enrol in the alternate degree, will not be awarded the combined degree. They will, instead, have two masters degrees, ie, Master of Health Science (Sports Physiotherapy) and Master of Health Science (Manipulative Physiotherapy). -4-

7 Credit transfer is outlined below for potential applicants, including: Enrolled students of Master of Health Science (Manipulative Physiotherapy) or (Sports Physiotherapy) Graduates of Master of Health Science (Manipulative Physiotherapy) or (Sports Physiotherapy) Graduates of Master of Applied Science (Manipulative Physiotherapy) or (Sports Physiotherapy) within 5 years, and Graduates of Graduate Diploma of Applied Science (Manipulative Physiotherapy) or (Sports Physiotherapy) within 5 years Enrolled students of Master of Health Science (Manipulative Physiotherapy) or (Sports Physiotherapy) Students enrolled in the Master of Health Science (Manipulative Physiotherapy) or (Sports Physiotherapy) from 2001 who wish to transfer to the 72 credit points combined degree can do so by completing 24 credit points units of study in addition to the 48 credit points of the original degree. Graduates of Master of Health Science (Manipulative Physiotherapy) or (Sports Physiotherapy) The combined course is not available to these applicants. These applicants can take out the award of the alternate master degree by successfully completing 30 credit points. Graduates of Master of Applied Science (Manipulative Physiotherapy) or (Sports Physiotherapy) within 5 years The combined course is not available to these applicants. These applicants can take out the award of the alternate master degree by successfully completing 30 credit points. Graduates of Graduate Diploma of Applied Science (Manipulative Physiotherapy) or (Sports Physiotherapy) within 5 years These applicants can convert to a Master of Health Science (Manipulative Physiotherapy) or (Sports Physiotherapy), by a path that already exists for this conversion. They can then complete the alternate master degree by completing 30 credit points. 5. Student Load 5.1 Proposed Year of Program Commencement Semester 1, Intakes thereafter will be in the first semester each year. Prior to 2000, the nomenclature of coursework degrees was either Graduate Diploma or Master of Applied Science. -5-

8 5.2 Projected Enrolments for the First Three Years Table 1. Projected enrolments for M M M Local FT Local PT TOTAL M - course-work masters, FT - full-time, PT - part-time 5.3 Length of Candidature Full-time mode: Total length of candidature for the combined degree will be 3 semesters full-time. That is, 2 semesters for the single degree and an additional 1 semester to complete the combined degree. Part-time mode: Total length of candidature for the combined degree will be 6 semesters part-time. That is, 4 semesters for the single degree and an additional 2 semesters to complete the combined degree. Candidates will be encouraged to complete the additional units of study in one semester; if they choose to undertake only one unit of study at a time, they may be required to return the following year for Semester I to complete the second unit of study. (See section 1.3). Early exit options: Students who enrol in the combined degree, but elect to exit having successfully completed the requirements of the single degree will be awarded the single degree. Students who return to complete the combined degree after taking out the award of a single degree, must complete the units of study in the alternate degree and an additional 6 credit point unit of study (Topics in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy PHTY XXXX). This extra requirement is necessary to ensure that two degrees are not awarded for the same workload as required for the combined degree. Although Graduate Diploma and Graduate Certificate awards will not be offered as enrolment options, these awards will be available, with approval from the Head of School, as early exit awards for students who do not complete the required 48 credit points. A Graduate Diploma of Health Science (Physiotherapy) will be awarded for the completion of at least 36 credit points, while a Graduate Certificate of Health Science (Physiotherapy) will be awarded for the completion of at least 24 credit points. Students wishing to enrol in the Master of Health Science (Sports&ManipPhty) degree, who cannot meet the entry criteria, will be required to undertake a qualifying program -6-

Program Aims and Objectives 6.1 Aims: The principal aims of the program are to: Produce a body of graduates with academic and clinical skills to foster and develop the role of physiotherapy in the specialist area of sports and manipulative physiotherapy, and Encourage the development of a high standard of academic and clinical skills and promote a scientific approach to the evaluation of current therapeutic interventions. This program will also enable physiotherapists to gain credit towards the Australian Physiotherapy Association title of Sports Physiotherapist, Manipulative Physiotherapist and towards the clinical specialisation process of the Australian College of Physiotherapists. 6.1 Objectives: All of the objectives below will be applied specifically, though not exclusively, to the area of sports and manipulative physiotherapy and will be at a graduate level. By the end of this program the graduate will be able to: plan, implement and evaluate therapeutic interventions based on current information measure outcomes of interventions evaluate scientific and theoretical literature demonstrate advanced competence in deriving clinical implications from scientific and theoretical literature provide leadership in the field of musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy design clinical research demonstrate and promote curiosity and clinical scholarship anticipate and prevent secondary dysfunction explain clearly and logically the scientific reasoning underlying intervention strategies. 6.1 Conceptual Framework Competent advanced physiotherapy practice is underpinned by knowledge from the behavioural and biological sciences, in addition to clinical reasoning and physiotherapeutic clinical skills. The advanced practice of musculoskeletal physiotherapy is based on research and is cognisant of evidence-based practice issues in a contemporaneous medico-legal environment. The proposed program is informed by all the sciences and disciplines relevant to competent musculoskeletal physiotherapy practice. -7-

10 7. Design and Structure of the Program 7.1 Design of the Program Based on feedback from graduates of past programs, the proposed course is offered mainly in daytime mode, with all units of study except clinical education offered on campus and on two days each week. This design also addresses the reality that many students need to work while studying. The clinical subjects are offered at sites off campus, eg NSW public hospitals in reasonable proximity to the campus, sporting events and private clinics. 7.2 Structure and Content of the Program The program will require the completion of a 48 credit point Master of Health Science (Sports Physiotherapy) or (Manipulative Physiotherapy) followed by completion of 30 credit points in the other discipline (see Tables 2-4). The program can be undertaken in full-time or part-time mode. Normally, students enrolled in the combined program will not take out the first award, but will transfer to the combined award. Content will include biomedical and behavioural sciences, research methods and clinical practice (Table 4-6; and subject descriptions page 12) 7.3 Teaching Strategies and Learning Experiences A variety of teaching strategies will be employed to give the student a varied and comprehensive series of learning experiences including lectures, tutorial sessions, practical sessions, self-directed learning modules and clinical education. The type of teaching strategy employed will depend on the content and goals of the units of study. 7.4 Assessment Policy A variety of types of assessment will be used to evaluate the student s performance. Assessment procedures outlined in the Faculty Assessment Manual will be followed. This manual incorporates assessment policy and procedures of The Faculty of Health Sciences, The University of Sydney. -8-

Unit coordinator: Dr Rob Boland (ph ) PHTY XXXX Topics in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Semester 1 or 2 6 credit points This unit is designed to allow the student choice in studying an area pertinent to musculoskeletal physiotherapy. With the approval of the course academic adviser, students may choose from units offered within the faculty or by other universities offered either by on-campus or distance modes. Unit co-ordinator: Dr Kathryn Refshauge PHTY 5109 Dissertation Semester 1 and/or 2-12 credit points The dissertation comprises a major written work that involves the preparation of a nonresearch dissertation on a specific area of interest, under supervision. This document is a substantial scholarly work (of approximately 5,000-7,000 words) that is an exposition of a range of knowledge in a specific area of physiotherapy (clinical) practice and is expected to include original argument substantiated by reference to acknowledged authorities. It does not involve data collection but may take the form of analysis of existing data, developing a clinical tool or developing and evaluating patient education materials. The nature and complexity of the topic is negotiated with a designated supervisor. The aim of this work is for students to integrate background material and provide cohesive, structured suggestions for physiotherapy development or practice. A designated number of hours are set aside for workshops for classes in scientific writing but the majority of the hours will be spent in consultation with the supervisor or in independent study. The dissertation document will be assessed by 2 examiners and comprises 100% of the assessment in this unit. Unit coordinator: Martin Mackey (ph ) -18-
