What does my short course schedule look like?

You will learn online over 6 weeks. You can work through the online learning content at your own pace within this timeframe.  Practice Based Activities and the course workbook need to be submitted at the end of the 6-week period.  

You must set aside regular and sufficient time to work through the content and plan and complete your Practice Based Activities. You should be prepared to commit approximately 10 hours per week with additional time for the completion of the Practiced Based Activities.  

In addition to the online learning content, there are 3 optional opportunities for ‘live’ collaboration with teachers and peers. These online webinars will be provided using Collaborate and recorded to ensure that information is disseminated to learners who are unable to attend in real time. This provides ample opportunities to network with others in the health sector.  

Please note that the delivery of this cohort is subject to minimum cohort numbers. If minimum numbers are not met, registrations may be transferred to an alternate cohort or refunds will be provided.

Who are the short course facilitators?

Your short course will be led by Dr Jennifer Kosiol
