3 Your community chooses module, selects student to learn the skills


On completion of step 3, the student will hopefully sit the exam and, provided this is passed, move directly into active use of the module in the community. Feedback is also given to DevelopingPhysio at this point to check if further refinement is needed

I have no doubt that developing physio will have a positive impact on increasing quality of life for many who will have the opportunity to connect in this health enhancing skill set.”…[/ir_item] [ir_item id=”3″ title=”someone else”]portrait_fiona

using_mobile_mKindly note – we use the term ‘youphysio’ to mean the recipient of the teaching.   Since the experience of the youphysios varies greatly, the modules have been written for those with no previous medical knowledge.

‘Teacher’s notes’ are available in the top right hand corner of each page.  These enable the provision of the same teaching globally as well as allow a physio to provide teaching outside their specialist area.

Construction

Each module is divided into three sections:

  1. Reference (Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology):  This provides specific background knowledge to understand the module safely.
  2. Assessment and Diagnosis:  The youphysio is led through the assessment by a picture flow diagram.  This removes responsibility for the clinical reasoning from the youphysio, whilst inspiring them to see how it works.  Each assessment arrives at a diagnosis.  Often they will collect more than one diagnoses (eg knee assessment, where the knee is swollen, red and painful = 3 diagnoses).
  3. Treatment:  Each diagnosis is followed by a treatment plan.  It is worth noting that because all sections are colour-coded and kept to a minimalist logic, the entire process remains intuitive, straightforward and, as far as possible, fun!

Access

Print: The ‘print’ pdfs are useful to communities without access to computers (please contact us if you need a printed copy of all modules to date in A4 folder).

Interactive: The ‘interactive’ version enables you to click between all parts of all modules, just like a website, yet without the need for internet connectivity. A memory stick is available to run this on most devices..

Feedback

We would ask that you kindly provide us with feedback on the modules, whether you have just read them or trialled them abroad.  Forms for this will be provided. Thank you very much!
