5 INTRODUCTION Prfessinal placement is an integral part f the Sprt and Exercise degree and is a c-perative effrt between the agency t which the student has been allcated and USQ. Prfessinal placement is designed t augment USQ cursewrk and t prvide students with the pprtunities t develp their persnal skills and prfessinal understandings. Prfessinal placement als allws the student t demnstrate their cmpetence and t translate thery and example int placement. T reflect the standards required by the prfessin, students must be given pprtunities fr highquality wrk experience in multiple settings directly relevant t the placement f sprt and exercise. It is necessary that when students are undertaking prfessinal placement that they are actively engaged within the placement. Supervisrs f placement students are nt slely respnsible fr ensuring that students have the necessary knwledge and skill base t meet industry requirements. The placement crdinatr shuld play a significant rle in rganising prfessinal placements fr the students in cnjunctin with the prfessinal placement staff. On cmpletin f prfessinal placement, the student will be able t: Cnfidently participate in the daily activities f the agency within the scpe f practice Integrate theretical cncepts with prfessinal placement within the area and interact in a prfessinal manner with ther prfessinals and clients Undertake effective and safe sprt and exercise assessment and prescriptin Implement and evaluate prgrams apprpriate t sprt and exercise 5

6 PART A: PROFESSIONAL PLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS ESSA placement requirements Fr exercise science accreditatin, a minimum f 140 hurs f practicum is required. At least 80 f the 140 hurs must demnstrate attainment f cmpetency in exercise assessment, prescriptin and delivery. Exercise prescriptin hurs must be with clients wh are seen fr the purpse f undertaking an exercise interventin t imprve their health and fitness, wellbeing r perfrmance, and nt participating in an exercise interventin fr the treatment and/r management f a clinical cnditin r injury. Hwever, the service can be fcused n the preventin f chrnic cnditins. Fr these 80 hurs, supervisin must by ne r mre f the fllwing: Accredited Exercise Scientist Accredited Exercise Physilgist Accredited Sprts Scientist An individual with an AQF level 7 Bachelr degree in Exercise and Sprts Science An AQF level 7 Bachelr degree qualified physical educatin teacher with a majr in physical educatin where the placement is in a schl setting. Activities undertaken fr the remaining 60 hurs may be in any area that reflects the AES prfessinal standards. These hurs must be supervised by a qualified and experienced prfessinal wh hlds a qualificatin (recgnised r endrsed by a regulating authrity, such as a natinal assciatin r Australian Health Practitiner Regulatin Agency), fr the activity they are supervising. Apprpriate placement sites include health and fitness clubs; sprting rganisatins and clubs; and schls. Fr exercise physilgy accreditatin, a minimum f 360 hurs f practicum is required t be undertaken in a range f activities relevant t the AEP prfessinal standards, but must include activities t demnstrate attainment f cmpetency as an entry level practitiner in exercise assessment, prescriptin and delivery as demnstrated thrugh effective assessment methds, and determined by an AEP, including: a) At least 200 hurs spread acrss the areas f cardivascular, musculskeletal and metablic dmains t allw students t demnstrate capability as an entry level practitiner. Apprpriate placement sites include exercise physilgy r multidisciplinary clinics; hspitals; aged care facilities; cardiac care services within public/private hspitals and the cmmunity; physitherapy clinics; and sprting rganisatins and clubs. b) At least 100 hurs in any f the ther AEP pathlgy dmains as specified in the AEP prfessinal standards i.e. cancer, kidney, mental health, neurlgical, respiratry/pulmnary.

Simulatin prgrams must be supprted by an underlying pedaggy r framewrk t assist in the develpment f relevant and apprpriate clinical skills and cmpetencies. The use f SLEs must be evidence-based and include an nging review and evaluatin prcess. In rder t be used as a substitute fr practicum experience simulatins must have clear learning bjectives, prblem slving cmpnents built int the scenaris, structured debriefing, and be high fidelity. At USQ we have made a decisin t prvide all f the allwed simulated learning in 4 th year within the university envirnment. Simulated learning in external practicum sites may be undertaken in additin t ther practicum activities, but may nt replace them. Supervisin must be by: a) An AEP fr at least 200 f the 360 hurs. b) An AEP r a qualified and experienced prfessinal wh hlds a qualificatin (recgnised r endrsed by a regulating authrity such as a natinal assciatin r APHRA) fr the activity they are supervising, and relevant t the client cnditin they are servicing, fr the remaining hurs.
