Local physios share knowledge at CSU

28 FEBRUARY 2013

Physiotherapists from Orange, Bathurst and Canowindra will share their experience with students at Charles Sturt University in Orange on Friday in a workshop designed to foster industry connections.   Physiotherapy lecturer Ms Kerstin McPherson from the School of Community Health said the collaboration of local professionals was an important part of the University's approach to preparing students to join the industry.   “It is fantastic that we have local clinicians sharing their knowledge and being involved in teaching,” she said.   The workshop will be run by problem-based learning tutor Dr Sarah Hyde and is designed to encourage the clinicians to share their professional knowledge with the students.   “Dr Hyde’s PhD focused on the problem-based learning approach the CSU physiotherapy program has adopted,” Ms McPherson said.    “Problem-based learning fosters communication skills, group dynamics and clinical reasoning. It builds confidence in students as they gain clinical skills and enhances their ability to contribute on clinical placements.”
