This second foundations unit builds on the first unit by introducing the student to the musculoskeletal system. Addressing the unit of medical education recommended by the World Health Organisation as part of the "Bone and Joint Decade" , students will utilise the communication and active learning skills developed in the first unit to engage in study of thirteen clinical cases focussing on the bones, joints and muscles of the upper and lower limbs and back. In the context of the Australian Health Care System, students will develop history taking and musculoskeletal examination skills while exploring the ethical framework and community context of the provision of primary health care. This unit and the units that follow, are organised and assessed around 5 Theme areas which incorporate the UTaS generic graduate profile and the Australian Medical Council recommendations regarding knowledge, skills and attitudes required of a medical graduate in Australia and New Zealand.
